Hundreds + Thousands is an extraordinary performance for humans and plants, created by long-time collaborators Luke George (Australia) and Daniel Kok (Singapore). Blending choreography, experimental music and installation — with an array of plant species as collaborators, mediators and audience — Hundreds + Thousands blurs the boundaries between people and the natural world. Relating with plants from the basis that they know (what do plants know?), we come together to rearrange our collective experience of the visual, the sensual and the sensible, and catch a glimpse of a world where time is transformed and the human is displaced.

Following their acclaimed performances Bunny (Campbelltown Arts Centre, 2016) and Still Lives: Melbourne (RISING, 2022), Performance Space is thrilled to present the Sydney premiere of Luke George and Daniel Kok's major new work. Hundreds + Thousands is an evolving project with a growing number of participants and collaborators across the globe: we invite you to bring along your favourite plant to join this small art movement.
