Watch NANTA, a non-verbal show that tells its story through rhythm and movement, at the dedicated NANTA theater in Myeongdong or Hongdae, Seoul. Three chefs turn pots, pans, cutting boards and knives into instruments, playing traditional Korean samulnori rhythms and transforming the kitchen into a stage. Since no dialogue is needed, anyone can enjoy the show without knowing Korean. You can choose your theater (Myeongdong or Hongdae) and seat grade (VIP, S or A) when booking.
