The Korean language isn't the easiest tongue for westerners to master, but that shouldn't keep anyone from visiting the dynamic and exciting city of Seoul. While there will undoubtedly be moments when a few minor details are lost in translation, there's no need to worry about bridging the language barrier at Seoul's renowned Nanta Theater. The non-verbal performances convey every nuance, emotion, and plot point through sound, motion, and body language in a play that audiences of any nationality can enjoy. Nanta incorporates traditional Korean samul nori rhythms into exaggerated acting techniques that draw as much on vaudeville and silent movies as contemporary theater. The result is an electrifying 90-minute show that centers on the comically-charged efforts of four cooks who are tasked with preparing an entire wedding banquet in just one hour. Expect plenty of highly-crafted slapstick along with a Buddhist prayer ceremony, juggling plates, and flying meat cleavers. World renowned, the company has won accolades such as the Best Performance award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1999. Starwood has three properties in Seoul, including the chic and elegant W Seoul - Walkerhill.
