The performance occupies the space of five vehicles, gently and in a light-hearted way asking whether roads should be turned over for people to use as pedestrians, instead of being burdened by vehicles. In response, there is a sense of play shared by everyone using the road. The other pedestrians, cars and vehicles, even huge concrete trucks, take on caring roles and good-naturedly share the space with the performing cars.
