That's PRD takes a look at the best of the week:
March 2: Moonsorrow Live At Y:Union
Calling their sound ‘epic heathen metal’ to distance themselves from ‘Viking metal’, which is characterized by a lyrical and thematic focus on the Viking age, Finnish pagan metal band Moonsorrow subsumes elements of black metal and folk metal in their music. Rather than happy and danceable, Moonsorrow’s music takes a spiritual note and can be challenging for listeners to fully understand. Founded in 1995, the group released their debut album, Suden Uni, which has more melodic black metal elements than their later releases. Drawing inspiration from Finnish mythology, Moonsorrow’s lyrics sound fabled and poetic. Prepare yourself for a genuinely legendary concert.
Mar 2, 8.30-10pm; RMB160 presale, RMB200 at the door. Y:Union. See event listing.

Running All Month: Nanta
Debuting in Seoul in 1997, Nanta is a Korean non-verbal comedy show that incorporates traditional Korean samul nori – a genre of percussion music. It follows the story of three chefs trying to finish preparations for a wedding banquet after the restaurant manager’s unskilled nephew is appointed to the kitchen staff. Incorporating acrobatics, comedy, magic tricks and audience participation, most of the music in the show is improvised with utensils like cutting boards and kitchen knives. As the longest-running show in Korean stage history, Nanta has been performed in 18 countries, including on Broadway, New York City in 2004.
Until Mar 30, 8.30-9pm; RMB160-480. Zhengjia Theatre. See event listing.
