The performance, ]eco.philia.sym.posion[, invites the audience to participate in an intimate ritual of reminiscence, action and sharing. They are given an opportunity to rethink and experience their connection to the natural environment and to consider what it means to rebuild their friendship (philia) with nature (home/eco). The term 'ecophilia' can be considered as the love for the place where all beings live— that is, the Earth and nature. The degradation of natural resources and the environmental crisis are dramatic manifestations of the disturbance of our relationship with nature.

How can we restore our friendship (philia) with our home (eco), nature? What does it mean to love nature? Can we think of sustainability as a healing project? What are the myths that are cultivated and how can we dismantle the 'myth of progress'?

]eco.philia.sym.posion[ takes place around a table in the form of an intimate dinner, where audio-visual media is used to enhance the immersive atmosphere. Through the embodied knowledge that is built collectively and the value of sharing, ]eco.philia.sym.posion[ constructs a new narrative that opposes the dystopian landscape and invites us to imagine a different future.
