Trapped on a stationary spin bike she can’t unclip from, a woman pedals through her need to please, her addictions, and her eating disorder. A standard fitness class quickly spirals into a confession, a confrontation, and a bloody reckoning with body, mind and self.

After a violent, sleepless night with her abusive boyfriend, Meg has to go back to work at her spin studio like nothing happened. It doesn’t take long for her to spiral into a manic breakdown as she realizes her version of self-care is actually brutal self-destruction. Throughout this absurd one-woman show, Meg discovers that the only thing more exhausting than the workout is running from herself.

Directed by Jennesy Herrera, SpinQueen™ blends satire, physical intensity and direct audience engagement to examine the culture of self-optimisation and the pressure placed on women to be disciplined, desirable, and emotionally contained at all times. It lands in a cultural moment where those pressures are intensifying and self-care is increasingly distorted into a performance of perfection - the resurgence of “thin is in,” the rise of hyper-visible workout culture, and the rebranding of restriction and control as “wellness.” SpinQueen™ interrogates this perversion, asking what it means to care for oneself in a system that rewards self-erasure.
