Procession of Fools

The Procession of Fools is an idea of reclaiming public space and fighting conventions for the freedom of personal evolvement. Processions have the function of promoting the principles and ideas of religions and other believes and applying them to the pubic domain. If one of the principles of the Millennial Church is freedom of expression and being true to yourself, you can train the freedom in public space, alone or with a group. The chance is high that it feels awkward at first, but the feeling of changing the function of a public space in a group is nice. Flashmobs are a nice example of that. Today the functions of public space are merely any other then getting from A to B and consuming goods. Justifying to do something else like for example a pillow fight, pick-nicks or dancing in a place where it is unexpected can be fun and create a feeling of freedom and power over the governance. With branding the procession as part of a religion you give people a context for how to interpret it and eventually expose them to and make them curious for the ideas it promotes. The idea of the Funny Walks of course from the great satire by Monty Python and the question: why does it feel so weird to simply do stupid stuff in public?
