The show, which has been running since 1997, is marketed as the most popular show in Korea. The Manila leg will be held from November 10 to 15 at The Theatre at Solaire.
Last September, ABS-CBNnews.com and selected media and bloggers had the chance to watch “Nanta” at Myeongdong in Seoul.
Here are five things that Filipinos can expect from “Nanta”:
1. It’s a show for everyone.
You don’t have to speak or understand Korean to appreciate the show. A non-verbal performance, “Nanta” transcends language barriers and age restrictions, relying on slapstick comedy and good choreography.
2. It features mad knife skills.
“Nanta” is often compared to “Stomp,” another popular show that uses everyday objects as percussion instruments. But unlike “Stomp,” this Korean show focuses on showcasing kitchen stunts, from tossing plates to chopping food.
Yes, the actors here are trained to use real knives, chopsticks, plates, pots, pans and ingredients to create music, so the stage can get messy at times.
3. There is real fire.
The actors of “Nanta” play with fire – literally. Expect to see real flames as they take on the role of chefs, preparing various dishes to satisfy their boss and their audience.
4. You might be brought on stage.
There is a lot of audience participation involved in “Nanta,” so prepare to be asked to help out in the kitchen, from making dumplings to tasting soup.
5. It’s pure fun.
Just sit back, relax and get ready to laugh throughout the show. “Nanta” is a show that is meant to be enjoyed instead of being overanalyzed.
