Australia’s Pony Cam enacts the recklessness, euphoria, and optimism that comes before burnout. 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.
Created and Performed by Pony Cam (Claire Bird, Ava Campbell, William Strom, Dominic Weintraub, and Hugo Williams)
