Flash Mob kissing in the Ilac Centre


This is a lovely video. Last Saturday as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival, a group called the Performance Corporation puckered up and gave Dublin KISS.

"The ILAC Shopping Centre in Dublin city centre came to a standstill when unsuspecting shoppers witnessed a mysterious outbreak of kissing couples in the main concourse. To the haunting sound of the song “Llorando”, bystanders watched as apparent strangers came together, drawn by some strange emotional force and began to kiss.

The best thing was some of the passers-by joined in!

Then, as quickly as it had begun, the kissing couples parted, melting once more into the crowd."
Almost 100 people were involved as part of the performance, apparently, though they didn't know what they'd signed up for until lunchtime on the Saturday where the performance would happen and what it would involve.

Judging by the reactions of some of the crowd and participants, it doesn't seem to have been an altogether unpleasant experience, though the reaction at 1:45 speaks volumes.

More kissing in Dublin needed, eh?
