Story and its background
The sperm cells that land on a woman’s belly will not give up their mission of fertilization. As they race towards her womb, they join forces while fighting off fatal enemies such as Kleenex, Body Soap, and White Blood Cells. Could they accomplish their mission within the limited time? This heart-warming drama by Daisuke Koshikawa, was previously performed in NYC in March `05. Overcoming the language barrier, this piece made New York audiences laugh and cry hard every 3 seconds.
