NANTA

If you have never before experienced the fun of a NANTA performance, do yourself a favor, and catch a show while it is touring in Cheongju… this weekend only!

NANTA is best described as a mixture of Stomp and cooking. It is a nonverbal performance, so even those who don’t understand Korean can enjoy and follow it. There is a loose storyline, but lots of music, drumming, chopping, flying food, and physical comedy. There is even a chance for audience participation in some parts.
 
Performances are in the CJB Media Center (CJB미디어센터) in Sannam-dong.  There are 4 shows this weekend: Friday (27th) at 7:30pm, Saturday (28th) at 4:30pm and 7:30pm, and Sunday (29th) at 4:30pm.

Tickets are 30,000 or 40,000 won, and can be bought in advance through Interpark or at the door.

International Chopsticks Festival

​From November 11th through December 17th, Cheongju is hosting to a variety of events celebrating the International Chopsticks Festival.   Korea, Japan, and China will be simultaneously celebrating the 2000 year anniversary of the chopsticks. 
 
The events kicked off on 11/11 (because the date looks like 4 chopsticks!). At the Cheongju Historic Museum of Baekje (청주백제유물전시관) in Shinbong-dong, there is an exhibition about chopsticks from the 3 countries that displays ornate and historically-significant chopsticks. The exhibition is from 9:00am to 5:00pm daily until December 17th.
