| The final performance featured 214 teenagers (mostly girls) performing with precision in a ten-minute event on Ilosaari Island, a horse shoe-shaped lagoon in the center of a river that runs through the town. Performers dressed in red t-shirts and marched along the mouth of the lagoon to the tune of a sound score drifting to a large audience, witnessing from the riverbanks and the bridge. From afar, the youth appeared to create a red dotted line around the lagoon. Simultaneously the teenagers raised red flags, connecting the dots to create a red circle of flags and bodies. Then they leapt into the freezing water and swam vigorously, reforming as a red dot hovering in the center of the lagoon. Breaking rank after several minutes, they returned to shore for a party.
