Daily schedule: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm & 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm. Transfer not included.
Figuratively, NANTA means reckless punching, as in a slugfest at a boxing match. NANTA is a non-verbal performance of reckless rhythms that dramatize customary Korean percussion in a strikingly comedic stage show. Integrating uniquely Korean traditional tempos with a western performance style, NANTA storms on stage into a huge kitchen where four capricious cooks are preparing a wedding banquet. While cooking, they turn all kinds of kitchen items - pots, pans, dishes, knives, chopping board, water bottles, even brooms and each other - into percussion instruments. Rhythm rules, as the audience is swept along in the primitive sound explosion and actions on stage. Though the performance is built primarily on captivating rhythms and has very few spoken words, audiences of all ages and nationalities can easily enjoy the plot and dramas.

Every day since 1997, the theater has staged the Korean Traditional Stage performance to keep the passion of traditional Korean arts alive. The Korean Traditional Stage enables audiences to enjoy the quintessence of four genres of traditional Korean performing arts (traditional dance, Pung-Mul, So-Ri and musical instrument performance) throughout the year. One of Korea’s best traditional Korean art performances, it has been highly praised by renowned figures at home and abroad and by foreign tourists.
