After Everland, we travelled to Hong Dae to catch the 5pm Cookin' Nanta show. It is a non verbal performance presented through rhythm and beats using everyday tools found in the kitchen like knives, pots and pans. Audience participation is highly appreciated.
Cookin' Nanta non verbal performance
People, young and old, can relate to the story line no wonder it is visited by tourists all over the world. I am now part of the 7, 000, 000 people around the world who has seen this show since its first performance in October 10, 1997.
cast of characters, me... not included!
We were given seats in the front row (A-12) and center (W50, 000- S), you might think that's all good, right? But loud beats and music doesn't appeal much to me. For me, it's a little bit too loud bordering to noisy. Another thing, slapstick comedy is not for me either. If not for the latter part of the performance where the audience were divided into two groups, I would not have enjoyed the show.
Yellow cast members
As with any other theater performances, there were several groups of performers. We caught the Yellow group. The Head Chef (Gochanghwan) gave a rousing performance and worked the crowd really well. He was actually very funny and the only one that was able to make me laugh.
