Pony Cam: Burnout Paradise at UCLA Nimoy Theater

From Australia’s award-winning experimental collective Pony Cam, Burnout Paradise invites you into a high-stakes space charged with recklessness, euphoria, and the fleeting optimism that comes just before burnout.

Four performers step onto four treadmills. What begins as a simple wager between performer and audience quickly spirals into a desperate and hilarious attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that push the limits of their bodies, minds and spirits.

This is not an endurance test. Nor is it performance art. It’s an unraveling realization that the system we participate in was never built for us. A delusional and physical celebration of our shared struggle to draw boundaries — and keep them intact.
