Pedal power: This climate change play in Lithuania is activated using exercise bikes
Next time you hit the gym or jump on your exercise bike, take inspiration from the fact you could be powering a work of art.
While chances are you’re the only one feeling the fitness benefits, a new tech and theatre partnership is proving that anything is possible.
Two specially created exercise bikes powered an entire play in the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre last weekend.
“When we created the bike we never imagined that it would be used on stage during such a performance in the national Lithuanian theatre,” says Jonas Navickas, CEO of Tukas EV which makes the bike-cum-energy storage units.
