3 – 5 JUN 2016 | NANTA (COOKIN’) is a comic musical non-verbal performance derived from the traditional Korean instrumental performance, “Samulnori”. With the kitchen as its backdrop, chefs as its main characters, knives and other kitchen utensils are transformed into musical instruments as they thrill the audience with acrobatic cooking moves to prepare for a surprise wedding ceremony.

NANTA (COOKIN’) has been one of the most popular shows in Korea ever since it premiered in October 1997, cooking and bringing humour to over 8 million audiences around the world! It made its international debut in 1999 at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it received an award for the best performance. Since then, it has been staged in the U.K., Germany, Austria, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, the Netherlands, Australia, etc. Eventually NANTA (COOKIN’) made it all the way to New York, premiering at the Minetta Lane Theater on 7 March 2004 and ran for one and a half years. NANTA (COOKIN’) was the first Asian show to open its own off-Broadway theatre!
