Festival Escena Contemporanea, Charmartin Railway Station, Madrid
6 - 11 February, 2006

This was our first attempt at a medium scale version of the show and it proved very satisfying. The large amount of rice gave us the freedom to tackle very large statistics and compare the populations of whole countries without having to take on the vast logistical and physical challenges of a world version.

Disappointingly, despite being located at a major railway station, the show only attracted small audience numbers, causing us to re-think how we help promoters market the show and what advice we give about suitable venues Ð the promoter was thwarted late on by red tape in his attempt to host us in a city centre underground station, which would have been fantastic.

For the first time we used paella rather than Long Grain rice (the grains appear to weigh the same), which was delivered in twelve, one ton sacks. Much of the get-in was spent decanting these big bags into smaller 20kg bags, a process made swifter than we had feared by the use of some high-end industrial digital scales.

Highlight for this gig was the ongoing challenge of trying to see the world from a Southern European perspective and using a lot of our South American statistics for the first time.
