Strange characters, perched on incredible machine-bikes built with materials entirely from the rubbish dump, travel from one village to another, like the grinders from former times but also like fairground workers, to encourage festivities, bartering and the creativity of craftsmanship. Set in motion by the spectators, the machines draw in the passers-by and make them actors of the event. With a few pedal strokes, onlookers can bring the world of bicimaquinas to life. These different machines make cocktails, serve beer or hot drinks, play music or patch clothing, all under the roof of a little kiosk. Without worrying about the now obsolete principles of unbridled productivity, the characters and their machines invite people to forge links, encourage dialogue, exchange and the creation of poetic and festive worlds! An artistic, mechanical and human adventure at the crossroads of street theatre, performance, animation and craftsmanship.
