Nanta - Cookin' 2016

Nanta (Cookin’) returns to Singapore.
Music, mayhem and magic are only a few of the ingredients in the savory stew of skillful, high-energy, simply good fun.

Direct from South Korea, this amazing theatrical spectacular is Master Chef meets Stomp. Over four million people have been entertained around the world by five fabulous chefs who drum (with knives), juggle (with knives), and literally cook their way through a fast-paced evening of culinary delight, the likes of which you have never seen!

Resorts World Theatre is thrown into an explosive performance as aromatic smells of foods fills the stage and chefs race against time to pull together a wedding banquet. Will the chefs complete the wedding banquet in time?

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!
