of all the people in all the world

The InterArts Department at Idyllwild Arts is pleased to present a special collaboration with the UK-based interactive theatre company, Stan’s Cafe. Of All The People in All The World is an internationally-acclaimed performance installation that turns abstract human population statistics into emotionally gripping stories using grains of rice.

The rice is carefully measured to represent human population statistics. These statistics are drawn from the most reputable sources available. After the performance the rice will be donated to charities and recycled.

Of All The People In All The World was first presented in 2003, since then it has toured the world, adapting to the times and contexts in which it is found.

  • Established in 1991 and based in Birmingham UK, Stan's Cafe is a group of artists from a variety of disciplines, but mostly theatre makers, working under the artistic direction of James Yarker. The company consists of an evolving team of long term collaborators and associated artists, the line up changes according to the project being worked upon.
