Collettiva Trasforma, a Milan collective working as Pedal Power, built pedal-power installations for two documented events in 2021 and 2022. A twelve-bike human-powered screen opened the CineMarmocchi children's cinema; four bikes then powered an entire Piccolo Teatro production.

    Uncertain

The collective, a Milan design and build group established in 2018, constructs pedal-power installations for other organisers' cultural events rather than running a cinema of its own 1,2. For the 2021 inauguration of CineMarmocchi, a children's open-air cinema in Milan's Giambellino neighbourhood, it built a human-powered screen 1. In 2022 it powered the whole of "Uno spettacolo per chi vive in tempi di estinzione" at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, with live wattage displays visible to the audience throughout 2. Press coverage of these two events is the whole documented record.
