The experiment involves five performers with stage-named High Speed, Coco, Lordi, Glow and Beauty. This experience is guided and moderated by Ziółek as Angel Dust. Individual body monologues are intertwined with hybrid group workout and trance practice including rave, kundalini yoga, latino flow and dancehall. The plot is set somewhere between a workout gym, a techno party and a corporate church of mindfulness.
