'Burnout Paradise' Explores the Treadmill of Life

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 24

The performance art show "Burnout Paradise" consists of four people with a long to-do list, which they have to complete, while running on treadmills, within an hour, or the audience gets their money back. The show is a fun and experimental look at the challenges of having a true work/life balance in the 21st century. The show was created by Pony Cam Collective, and Pony Cam members Ava Campbell, Dominic Weintraub, and Hugo Williams discuss the piece, which is running now at the Astor Place Theatre.
