What is Nanta?
As the first non-verbal performance in Korea, Nanta is a comic sketch of things that happen in the kitchen, performed through Samulnori, Korean traditional percussion quartet melodies. It’s a powerful performance for all ages and gender, melting the stress away with knives, cutting boards and kitchen utensils transforming into fabulous musical instruments.

It received rave reviews at its premier in October 1997, and since then has raised an all-time highest number of audiences in the history of performances in Korea through continuous improvements. After gaining much popularity through performances in England, Germany, Austria, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, the Netherlands, Australia and other countries world-wide, Nanta successfully established itself on New York’s Broadway.
Performed throughout the year in its exclusive theater in Seoul, Nanta fixed a goal of performing for 10 years, a goal that is unprecedented in Korea. It has also been firmly placed in the tourist route as one of Top 10 things-to-do for foreign visitors to Korea.
