Non-verbal Performances in Seoul

As the name suggests, non-verbal performances are shows with few to no lines. Instead, Korean martial arts such as Taekwondo (태권도) and Taekkyeon (택견), Samul-nori (percussion quartet of farmers) or B-boy techniques are incorporated, along with eclectic music and sound effects, to create a dynamic and exciting non-verbal show. Be sure to catch these non-verbal shows at theaters all across Seoul!
