1)  Beethoven's Ode to Joy is an official anthem of Europe with German language lyrics by F. Schiller.

2) Today Spanish unemployment is at 25%, and over 50% among the Spanish youth. This means that almost every second person in that square is unemployed. Think about it...

3)Flash mobs normally disperse after the performance. That is typically a part of the act. Not in this video...

In this context, the video can be interpreted as an affirmation of common European values and a symbol of people coming together inside a modern and simultaneously ancient "polis" to share their fate and vision. It is also about our relationship with art  -- material and spiritual, that is amplified rather than downplayed.

Thanks to all who shared this.  It gave me goosebumps.  And it really makes me wish things like that could happen in the U.S.

Beautiful! I too experienced tears of joy (~; And "joy" it should bring indeed, as it is the "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Symphony #9. Bravo! Flash Mob rules! Hope is alive (~;
