[Korea Performance] FantaStick is really Fantastic?

Fantastick is a non-verbal performance. It has story and they mostly play instrument such as drum, flute, etc. I went there with a friend from Indonesia.

The opening and the ending were actually pretty cool because it was really a party. I liked it. The story is actually really general, about love, man and woman, problem arises, they get separated, then they try to solve the problem, more conflict, climax, then they meet again and live happily ever after.

You really should know the introduction of the story, otherwise you will have no idea what is going on. I will give you a head start. The story is about a man and a woman, they love each other. God gave the man a drum and a woman a flute. Too exciting with his drum, the man forgets about the woman. The woman then gets really jealous and broke his drum. God angry and curse the woman and her family (why brings family? lol) to be haunted ghosts and takes her flute. The only way to be human again is to play a perfect song. And the performance starts from here.

Once in a while they give really funny scenes. The story itself is kind of depressing in the middle of the play. Therefore, if you are one of the audiences you will notice that once in a while audiences laugh, then it is silent, then more laughter again. And like any other performances in Korea, they do interact with audience.

Wanna see this one? The theather is located at Kyunghyang Newspaper Building second floor. Take line number 5 and get off at Seodaemun Station and take exit 5. Go straight until you find intersection. It is just across the street. Ticket is KRW 40,000 - 50,000.
