Hundreds + Thousands is a lush, sensory performance for humans and plants, created by long-time collaborators Luke George (Melbourne) and Daniel Kok (Singapore). Blending dance, experimental music, and installation – with plants as mediators, performers, and new companions – Hundreds + Thousands blurs the boundaries between people and the natural world. Rearrange your collective experience of the visual, the sensual and the sensible, and catch a glimpse of a world where time is transformed, and humans displaced.

Following their already iconic reimagining of the AFL mark of the year at RISING Festival (Melbourne, 2022), this intimate dance work transforms PICA into a plant-filled, tropical landscape, brimming with movement, bodily sensation, and ecological curiosity in its Australian premiere.

Bring along your favourite plant as you consider what plants know of the world around them.
