In Of All the People in All the World: The Americas, UK theatre company Stan's Cafe collects 300 million grains of rice, creating a hauntingly beautiful, constantly shifting sculptural landscape. With one piece assigned to every person in the United States, the installation captures the sheer vastness of our population: individuality is lost as viewers contemplate their tiny place in the world by holding a single grain in their hands and walking among the ever-reorganized piles of grain. Actors dressed as lab technicians talk with guests about the awe-inspiring method by which the piece was created.
