Travellings of Love: Nanta Non Verbal Performances Show

Nanta is a Korean popular non-verbal performances. Nanta is also knowns as Cookin, as work is underway to establish a Nanta-exclusive theater on the country's southernmost resort island.

Nanta is showed at Chongdong Culture Plaza Take subway to City Hall Station (Line 2), district of Seoul and walk past Deoksugung Palace.

Nanta is the combination of Korean traditional performance called ‘Samullnori’ and western form of performance. Instead of using various Korean traditional instruments, it uses pans, knives, and pots- objects that you can find in a kitchen- as its instruments. That is why the performance called ‘Cooking’ in English.

First staged in October 1997, Nanta has run for more than a decade, a very rare record in the history of Korean performing arts.

Integrating uniquely Korean traditional drumbeats with a western performance style, NANTA storms on stage into a huge kitchen where four capricious cooks are preparing a wedding banquet.

The Myeong Dong Nanta Theatre has 386 seats and is located at the Unesco Building, 3 level. They will be performing everyday at 2pm, 5pm and 8pm.
