'Zombies' descend on Hamburg for G20 protest

(CNN)In a scene straight out of a "Walking Dead" nightmare, Hamburg's streets teemed with "zombies" in a statement over political participation ahead of Friday's G20 summit.
A performance piece orchestrated by the 1,000 Gestalten (1,000 figures) collective saw 1,000 actors descend upon the city's center on Wednesday, shuffling and clawing through the streets in eerie silence before a single demonstrator shed his zombie facade to reveal colorful clothes beneath.
The group's orchestrators said the production was designed to emphasize that change can come from single individuals.
"We cannot wait until change happens from the world's most powerful, we have to show political and social responsibility -- all of us -- now!" a 1,000 Gestalten spokesman said in a statement.

This is the whole performance (I didn't watch all of the video, but it was fun to click through):
We have had some good demonstrations lately, as well (e.g. Handmaiden protests).
