High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Of All The People In All The World, also known as The Rice Show, is an art installation and performance, by the Stan's Cafe Theatre Company, which utilises 112 tonnes of dry rice to represent the world's population, with one grain for each person (about 60 grains of rice - or persons - per gram). Two 20Kg bags of rice became the number of people displaced in Darfur. Individual piles of rice represent various statistics, such as deaths in The Holocaust or the population of England. As the show progresses, new piles are made by curators. Topical events are also covered, such as a pile representing the people who lost jobs upon the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, which happened during the September 2008 exhibition. Some of the piles are shaped to represent something associated with the statistic; such as the rice representing the crowd at a football match being in the shape of a stadium, with players in formation. Visitors, or people using the show's website, are invited to suggest new statistics for inclusion.
