In fact, only team work can “vivify” the organism by producing electrical energy which is necessary for activities. The main energy source, used for sound and lights are powered by bicycle audience. It offers a possibility of creating an active audience that will provide electric energy for diverse events. This design inspires interaction and team work and raises awareness of pure energy production to everyday activities by exercising and participating in different cultural events at the same time. Directing the energy, the audience is included in the performance, it became an active criticism. Success of performance depends on team work, motivation, physical condition of the audience, as well as on the skills and abilities of performers to attract their attention. When the audience stops pedaling the performance is over.

It also presents a polygon for social experiment of performers themselves where they can most directly contact with the audience and to examine the acceptance and reaction on their work.
