Edinburgh’s international festival of animated film, puppetry and visual theatre, Manipulate Festival will once more celebrate overseas and homegrown work that tells stories primarily through imagery.
The Festival aims to engage and challenge audiences with high-quality visually led work which pushes boundaries, plays with form and challenges perceptions.
The 2025 Festival will once again spread across the city – with live performance, screenings and workshops taking place in The Studio, Traverse Theatre, Fruitmarket, The French Institute, Dancebase and The Hub.
The festival has a strong commitment to accessibility and will be presenting a range of work. This includes performance from Deaf artists, live work with spoken text that is BSL interpreted, screened work with closed captioning and performance and installation work that is non-verbal.
The full programme and ticket information can be found on Manipulate Festival.
