yo si bailo thriller en el zocalo!!! ( yes, i gonna dance thriller en Zocalo!!!)


Eng: i just receive this amazing and so exciting news that in the center of Mexico City, Zocalo, there will be millions of people dancing "thriller" of Michael Jackson, on 29th august 2009 (MJ's birthday)!!!! What a exciting event gonna be!!!!

The event is organized by a group of facebook called "yo si bailo thriller en el zocalo" ( yes, i gonna dance thriller at zocalo), and they are inviting EVERYBODY who wants to dance with them that day. No matter the age or ocupation or gender or whatever whatever, but they just want to get together all MJ fans and enjoy making it happen, probably the most huge "thriller" ever.

This group, "yo si bailo thriller en el zocalo", organizing rehearsal of its choreography every sunday at several parks and plazas in the city. And of course as good mexicans it seems that there already are many people, from kids to dads and moms and grandpa grandma, practicing "thriller" after "Michael Jackson" teaching.



That's why i love Mexico City.

People there are always ready to enjoy willingly this kind of events, and its enegy of solidarity is amazing, which i think people in my own country have been lost it or maybe we don't even have such kind of power.

Anyway i love to feel it in mexico, i love that!!!

As a similar event, an american photographer Spencer Tunick, famos as his installation and photography in which masses of nude people posed, realize the most huge mass nude photo session in his career at the same place there in Mexico City, Zocalo on May 6th 2007. Approximately 18,000 people got together there at 5 am that day, to participate this huge artistic event!!!

Isn't that amazing??

Sadly i couldn't be present for this photo session, however i could feel the excitiment and emotion of people from videos and reports. I put some of them below.
I like the comment which Spencer left just after this session. ( you can see it in the final part of second video )

It makes me happy to know that there are people like him with lots of sensitivity fighting toward some sad face of our society with prejustice, rumors, conservativeness, hostility etc etc, just through some simple act of art.

I hope this "thriller" event will be as huge as of the spencer tunick, and i hope to be there present dancing with milions of people my favorit dance of Michael Jackson!!!
