Flashmob. Você já participou de algúm?

Para o Wikipedia, flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.[2][3][4] Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.[5][6][7][8][9]

Mas, você dirá: "É Trafalgar Square, seu mentecapto! Esperava o quê?" Como quem diz: "Vamos na 25 comprar um Tag ou no Brás, que hoje tem uma boa liquidação de bolsas Versace."

Lembra dos "Happenings" dos anos 60? Sabe o que é um "Happening"?
A mesma Wikipedia os define como; happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered art, usually as performance art. Happenings take place anywhere, and are often multi-disciplinary, with a nonlinear narrative and the active participation of the audience. Key elements of happenings are planned, but artists sometimes retain room for improvisation. This new media art aspect to happenings eliminates the boundary between the artwork and its viewer. Henceforth, the interactions between the audience and the artwork makes the audience, in a sense, part of the art.

Além do mais porque gosto particularmente desta música (Sing, sing, sing) e seus 15 minutos históricos. Sempre me lembra do Gene Krupa e de Benny Goodman, claro. E de como tocavam tão altos que o primeiro trumpete era, invariavelmente, Gabriel.
O Arcanjo.
