In this Fringe show, four performers are stuck on treadmills racing against the clock to do everything that needs doingโ€”cooking, grant applications, Shakespeare, reading the news, and more.

This is Burnout Paradise, billed as a physical celebration of the euphoria that comes before burnout.

Obviously, this show is an impossible and never ending task. But in trying anyways, Burnout Paradise becomes a messy, clever, and jubilant physicalisation of burnout. It reminds us of the fun that it is to run yourself ragged. Iโ€™ve done it before, and Iโ€™ll do it again.
