Booking

KKday and GetYourGuide sell NANTA tickets with a choice of the Hongdae or Myeongdong theater and seat class.

NANTA tells its story with rhythm, beats and slapstick instead of dialogue: kitchen tools are the instruments, so you don't need any Korean to follow it. The Hongdae theater has 323 seats and lighting and stage sets designed for this one show. It sits in the middle of the Hongdae area, a short walk from Hongik University Station, and draws both international and local audiences.

Tips

  • Both online tickets cover the Hongdae and Myeongdong theaters, so make sure you pick the Hongdae option.
  • On weekdays there is only one show, at 17:00, so it fits well before an evening out in Hongdae.
