Banquets were an integral part of social and political practice in ancient Greece. In a strictly defined ritualised sequence that included ritual acts, music, dance and speeches, the participants - exclusively men - indulged in intoxication over the course of the evening. Plato's "Symposion" reports on the course of a banquet held in honour of the god Eros, in which various concepts and views of love were presented and discussed by the participants.

Based on Plato's writing, GASTMAHL attempts a reinterpretation of this social practice and the issues discussed in it. In a feminist ritual, it creates communal utopias through singing, dancing, drinking and discussing together and proclaims a new age of love.
