Nature is nothing but the material that the artist can use at will, with only one condition: to discover the nature of life and show it in a way that nobody would have imagine

Vladimir Maiakovski

Philosophy

(Migration Culture Reply . MCR Art Productions)
MCR Art Productions was born out of a desire to film and bring to world attention the experiences of the migrant in a foreign culture. We recognise that the condition of being a migrant means - among other things - change, displacement, acceptance, enrichment, frustration, prosperity, integration and sacrifice. It is these diverse aspects that define our art.	An art which through film and theatre allows us to capture those moments of life and recreate them artistically, to comment upon them, to change attitudes and renew ideas. In this way we want to reach out to our audience and generate new and unexpected reactions. This is the art we wish to create. An art of dynamism and change.
