Something’s brewing in the kitchen… it’s NANTA (Cookin’)!
Korea’s longest running (17 years since its first show) non-verbal comedy show will be playing on stage at Resorts World Theatre from 10 to 13 July.
If it’s your first time hearing about NANTA (Cookin’), here’s a short introduction about their cooking story and why it’s a treat to all five senses.
1. Touch
Lucky audiences will be chosen to join the cast on stage. This is the perfect opportunity to play with food and make the place as dirty as you want, without having to clean up afterwards.
2. Sound
Traditional Korean Samul nori music is improvised using kitchen utensils to create an upbeat and energising musical performance. Language barriers are also absent as rhythms produced by cutting boards and kitchen knives along with dramatic expressions are more than sufficient for you to understand the plot.
3. Smell
The savoury aroma of actual stir-fried vegetables and meat will whet your appetite. You can start thinking of what’s for supper (check out Malaysian Food Street) after the show.
4. Sight
Strong flames and flying vegetables are a common sight during the 90 minutes performance. Expect also to feast your eyes on magic tricks and acrobatics in this kitchen.
5. Taste
And if you are lucky, you may get to taste the dishes cooked during the show. Only if you dare.
If you wish to cook up a musical storm with the NANTA (Cookin’), ticket sales have already started so grab them before they are gone.
