Biking towards the sky is an air performance. (20 minutes). As darkness falls, the artists bring a performance with Angels and musicians. Biking towards the sky tells you a story about being together in dark days. Angels that balance between heaven and earth. A mix of cinematic images, singing and dancing ending in an air performance.
The 'city', being both the stage and  the subject, gives this performance a special dimension.
