Four performers mount four treadmills to push multi-tasking to its limits. Driven by an escalating series of tasks, Burnout Paradise is a delusional love letter to the labour, recklessness and euphoric optimism that comes before burnout. Pony Cam has a list of things that need to be done. Some are essential, some are pleasurable, and some have been requested by the directors of RISING. All of them need to be completed. All within an hour, all while running on a treadmill.

What begins as a simple wager, emerges as an unpredictable spectacle. A long-form mockery of our attempt to establish boundaries in life and work. A transformation of the performance space into something more gladiatorial.
