Tour Highlights

  • Cultural Performance



Seoul (- - -)
A frying pan, a water bottle, a pot, a chopping board, a knife - a musical instrument? Things in the kitchen, pots, pails, spatula, fork, knife, oven, cutting board, cucumber, carrot, or cabbage are transformed into musical instruments in the hands of the performers. You will this evening marvel at the haunting and heart-stirring music based upon Korean Samulnori rhythms combined with give distinctive characters, comic explosion.

Nanta still grows every day to become better production, more entertaining performance. The only and the best entertaining performance with a high energy, easy-watch experience, infectious rhythm and non-verbal humor that cuts across both age and international barriers. Nanta is the first Korean performance based on traditional Korean rhythmical music, but is mixed with European style dance movements. The creative settings used in the musical, such as the large kitchen stage, are quite impressive. Nanta is about four Korean chefs preparing a wedding dinner at a restaurant. As the chefs receive the order from the manager to finish making the dinner within an hour, the cooking process suddenly turns into a percussion music performance that creates a mix of happy, relaxing, exciting and passionate atmosphere and feeling.

The performers play the highly energetic Korean traditional percussion music, Samulnori, using all sorts of kitchenware such as chopping knives, cutting boards, vats, pots and stew pans. COOKIN (the original Korean title is NANTA, meaning crazy beat) has achieved fame from home and abroad. The performance follows the endearing chefs as they struggle to overcome the rivalries, trials and tribulations that are inevitable when there are too many cooks in the kitchen and an overzealous manager. The result is a feast for the senses as the chefs use every kitchen utensil in the kitchen, as well as their own bodies to drum out rhythms and draw laughter from the audience.
