Stan's Cafe are a group of artists from a variety of disciplines, though primarily theatre practitioners, working under the artistic direction of James Yarker. Of All The People In All The World - Hungary uses grains of rice to bring formally abstract statisitcs to startling and powerful life. The statistics are arranged in labelled piles creating an ever changing landscape of rice. The statistics and their juxtapositions can be moving, shocking, celebratory, witty and thought provoking.
Each grain of rice = one person and you are invited to compare the one grain that is you to the millions that are not. Over a period of days a team of performers carefully weigh out quantities of rice
to represent a host of human statistics
the populations of towns and cities
the number of doctors, the number of soldiers
the number of people born each day, the number who die
all the people who have walked on the moon
