## About

'The Only Korean Comedy Recognized Worldwide,' the Ongals Original Show is a non-verbal comedy that has been running since 2007, proven through tours across 56 cities in 26 countries. It received the highest 5-star rating for two consecutive years in 2010 and 2011 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, won the Best Comedy Award at the 2017 Asian Arts Awards, and became the first Korean comedians to hold an invited performance at the Seoul Arts Center.

Four actors silently express the world viewed through the eyes of children. It consists of four episodes: 'What is it?', where babbling children reinterpret surrounding objects; 'Surprise..!', challenging the limits of slapstick; 'You are hero..?', where the audience participates together through mime, magic, juggling, and handbell performance; and 'Live and Life', expressing what children see, hear, and feel through beatboxing. It is a performance that the whole family can enjoy together beyond language and borders.

To those who cannot see,
the joy of hearing;
to those who cannot hear,
the joy of seeing...!

While volunteering with fellow comedians, we met many people -- and foreigners, multicultural families and people with disabilities stood out among them. Something was needed for those left in social isolation and cultural blind spots, who find it hard to truly enjoy a performance without interpretation. So we set out to create a silent comedy that people with and without disabilities could enjoy side by side, whatever their age.

Formed in 2007, Ongals is a 'perfodian' (performer + comedian) team of like-minded comedians. At the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where 2,600 teams from around the world took part, they presented their 'Babbling Comedy' and, through mime, juggling, beatbox and other nonverbal devices, earned a perfect five-star rating in both 2010 and 2011.

Having won hearts around the world with laughter that transcends language and borders, Ongals is setting a new milestone for nonverbal performance.
