One feeds men into the machine, the other women.
It is impossible to remain standing.
Men and women fall on top of each other.
The unrelenting rotation of the machine fabricates synthetic intimacy

of Love. Outside the mountain the newly formed couples board a small boat
that disappears inside a dark tunnel leading to an interior lake. Inside
the tunnel complete obscurity ensures at least visual privacy; from the
muffled noises it is impossible to guess how many couples are crossing
the lake at any one time. The rocking of the small boats on the shallow
water reinforces the sensuality of the experience...

& music - no sex, no drugs.
By definition 'bangers 'n' mash' is a dish made with cooked sausages served
with boiled then mashed potatoes ..
