Of All The People In All The World

'an installation-cum-performance from one of our most tirelessly inventive theatre companies' – The Guardian 

For this beautifully simple performance, Stan’s Cafe convert human population statistics into a landscape of labelled rice piles in which one grain = one person. In this way numbers once abstract and difficult to grasp are given physical scale, become easy to understand and gain a powerful emotional kick.

By arranging these statistics in careful relationship to each other Stan’s Cafe create a piece that is politically engaged, subtly witty, shocking and humane. It is educational, poetic and provocative. Audiences regularly laugh out loud, admit to being brought to the edge of tears and leave saying this installation has changed the way in which they look at the world.

Witty, at times overwhelming and always thought-provoking. It is well worth going out of your way to see it. Wonderful.’ – The Times
