The American group The Flaming Lips has given another turn to the concept of

safe culture

.

And he has done it from an idea of ​​his singer, Wayne Coyne, who sometimes throws himself, into a big ball, to roll over the fans who attend his concerts.

In the two concerts that the band has given in Oklahoma there were no hugs, no pushing, no screaming.

There was no risk of contracting the coronavirus.

And yes, at last, there was music

.

They had been postponed in December due to the spike in infections.

The mechanism was revealed on Twitter, shortly before the first performance, by one of the members of the technical team.

Nathan Poppe showed on his Twitter account an installation with a futuristic air, in tune with the psychedelic wave in which the group was born.

"The floor is

a grid of 10 by 10 spatial bubbles

. In each one there may be a person, maybe two or three. There is a fancy supplementary speaker, a bottle of water, a fan, a towel, and a sign to say that I have to pee or I'm hot. "

The rules, Nathan Poppe explained, were "straightforward."

He detailed that attendees can remove the mask inside their bubble, but have to put it back on if they leave it, for example, to go to the toilet.

They should have rolled it toward the exit earlier to open it at the door.

In case of warning of excessive heat, the bubble was filled with cold air.

With

each member of the formation in their own

inflatable

bubble

, the cameraman was telling how the concert unfolded.

"There was, I think, the first marriage proposal at a space bubble concert. I think it was successful but it's hard to tell from here (...) I love that he claps his hands hitting the top of his bubble (...) 5 to 6 bubbles have taken bathroom breaks. "

Singer Wayne Coyne insisted from the stage: "It is a strange and unique experience."

He had already mentioned it before in Rolling Stone magazine, where he rejected that this concert in bubbles could be considered a

freak

.

"It's a very restricted and strange event. But the rarity is so that we can enjoy ourselves without putting our families and everyone in danger."

Will it be repeated?

It is difficult to predict.

Just in case, through his Instagram account he has shared the highlights.

Among them, the moment in which he hoists his message:

"Fuck you, Covid."
