When this surprising and hilarious music company appears on a 4-meter long, six-person tandem, it steals the hearts of the public. Mouths fall open in surprise and a smile breaks through on many faces.
Catchy and cheerful music is played while cycling. Suddenly the colossus stops, the musicians get off with a lot of fanfare, and there follows a distinctive & hilarious ballet act, or an absurd slapstick with breakneck & acrobatic feats. It is not afraid to mislead the viewer moreover, self-mockery is one of the ingredients. When the tandem leaves after much squabbling, the audience is left with the realization that they have witnessed a unique spectacle.
