In Aeonium all the action takes place in a greenhouse while outside, the world has probably collapsed after an unexpected catastrophe which is called “The Event”. At the same time, inside the greenhouse, five workers are tending to a plant ― a succulent of the Aeonium species to be specific, while attempting to interpret what has happened. The Greek word aeonium, which means eternal, refers to the endless circle of life and the negation of death. The audience is called on to ponder on time, human agency as the peculiar characters respond to a series of unexpected events.
