 Festival Purpose |
| 1) The Extension of the Right to Enjoy Local Culture |
| For the past 18 years, BIPAF has been at the forefront of selecting and organizing outstanding performances from around the world and promising domestic theatre companies. Through various genres of performing arts such as non-verbal, physical and street plays, we look forward to a leap toward Busan, a city of cultural enjoyment where Busan citizens can feel cultural pride. |
| 2) A Leap to a Ubiquitous Festival |
| Due to the long-term Covid-19 crisis last year, BIPAF held the festival both on-site and online to ensure that everyone could enjoy the festival together. We would like to maintain this model by reflecting the growing interest in hybrid events that combine online and on-site. In addition, we hold festivals in various places such as Haeundae Cultural Center, APEC Naru Park, Haneulbaram Theatre, Space Theater, Yeolrin Art Hall, Small Theater Exit No. 6, and Lemon Tree Theater to make a festival that can be enjoyed together anytime, anywhere. |
| 3) Contributions to the Development of Local Theatres |
| BIPAF has been working hard to develop audiences so that Busan citizens can approach theatre plays more easily for co-prosperity with the Busan theatre industry. At this year's BIPAF, we will support local art companies suffering from the prolonged Covid-19 through the Regional Win-win Challenge "Cheer-up Busan!" and offer our condolences to Busan citizens through artistic works by Busan local art companies. |
| 4) Contributions to the Expansion of Cultural Exchanges at the Private Level |
| BIPAF has been hosting festivals for the past 18 years, and has contributed to the expansion of private exchanges by establishing networks with various organizations in Korea and other countries. Based on the result of forming a nationwide network through an official agreement with the Korea Theatre Association and signing an official agreement with Avignon Off Festival, a world-renowned performing arts festival, we hope to contribute to the expansion of cultural exchanges in Busan. |
