Spermageddon

An innovative, funny and spectacular feature musical about (nothing less than) the miracle of Life.

DESCRIPTION

This is the story of Simon the sperm and his quest for the greatest of all. The wonderful egg. A seemingly impossible task, especially considering that they first end up in the wrong place …
In the same spirit as the Sausage Party; with cute drawings, a youthful content smiliar to what we encounter in Terkel in trouble and an extremely adult language that may only be surpassed by South Park, we look forward to presenting you Spermageddon! By the way, did we mention that it is also a musical.
