Throughout the week, the Pie in the Sky team had visited each and every school, running workshops with kids on how to light up their bikes in preparation for a public bike parade on the final night of the festival. They researched the “confidential” archive files of the Kaikōura Museum and worked secretly at the Community Space/Menz Shed, creating a float and an audio accompaniment that wove together whale song and de-classified recordings from the legendary UFO sighting above the town just over 40 years ago. A white whale, paper-skinned and lit up, was flanked by flashing, glowing bicycles, scooters and prams in a surreal procession from the Pier Hotel to the Memorial Hall. Pie in the Sky then transformed into their alter-egos Bric-a-brac Ravers and got the kids dancing their energy out as the adults dried off.
