In 'Regrowing Eden' the performance artists reflect on the manner in which society interacts with nature, and in particular with genetically manipulated plants. With gene-technology, humankind designs new life; nature is artificially created for specific purposes. In their artistic work, they examine this concept and investigate the public discussion of this new technology, until now in three countries. In the process they cross the line between artificial and natural and combine installation and performance, science and art, Switzerland -- Brazil -- Vietnam.
