Burnout Paradise
Four performers mount four treadmills. What begins as a simple wager between performer and audience becomes a desperate attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that confront the limitations of the performers' bodies, spirits, and minds.
This is not an endurance feat. Nor is it performance art. It is an unraveling realization that the system we participate in is not designed for us.
A delusional and physical celebration of our collective struggle to establish clear boundaries in our life.
Frenetic, funny, and unflinchingly honest, Burnout Paradise captures the chaos of trying to keep up-while everything else spins out of control.
With deep gratitude, Krannert Center thanks all Patron Sponsors and Corporate and Community Sponsors.
