Mc Ranin: “Esentially, here ends a work phase that started with South Korea. Last year I went to the meeting of all festival theater directors in South Korea and talked about this intention to establish the AMASIA festival.

What is AMASIA? AMASIA is the future continent formed from all the continents that will unite

It is an idea of ​​traveling and at the same time bringing together common elements from the cultures of the world. It’s actually an expression of cultural diversity, it’s a reaction to what’s happening with globalization right now.

The countries that will sign today are South Korea, Poland, Kazakhstan and Romania, and we are going to add five  or six more countries to have a total of ten countries, five from Europe and five from Asia.

Each signatory will take steps to establish a national office in its country. The important thing is to get funding but at the same time to select the best thing that is in that country to participate in this festival. Once every five years a country has to organize this festival.

“Romania’s collaboration with Korea was the starting point of this festival and here is my friend, Mr. JeungWu Son, with whom I discussed both in Romania and Korea, several times, to establish it -AMASIA- because we came to the conclusion that there is no such festival similar to the Olympics, which have a large scale and take place in all these countries that are part of it at one point”, Mc Ranin also declared at the meeting of the theaters from Europe, Asia and Africa.
