Eye of Life Productions introduces “organic matter,” a performance meant to open the door to new journeys, perspectives, and education with the use of guided psilocybin. With the inspiration of Terrence McKenna’s novel “Food of The Gods” and the fascination of natural medicines, this play uncovers a raw and immersive production to take audiences into their own trip across realities boundaries.
