March. The month of war. Winter is pining away and the violence of spring makes a grab for power. On a far planet there are people who live in an immense crater. Its walls are crumbling. Its dimensions are immeasurable. People look like microbes under the searching eye of a microscope. They live a tragedy full of hostility, which originated millions of years ago and has reached its full growth. From planet earth we are watching them. A vast space separates us. Time is swelling. If they could see us, we would seem nothing more than dinosaurs from a far and lost past. But then we see the resemblance. Who knows if they weren’t our ancestors... And suddenly March is back. An ambiguous, absolute and disorienting power is released. It carries the whole spectrum of human emotion.

For the first time, the Italian Dewey Dell (with a.o. the children of the great master of theatre Romeo Castellucci) works together with Kuro Tanino, director of the Japanese theatre company Niwagekidan Penino. They got to know each other at NEXT 2011. Together with the Japanese strip cartoonist, who has designed the costumes for this occasion, they create a performance on the boundaries of dance, theatre and strip cartoon.
