31st January – 8th February

Billed as an annual celebration of innovative visual theatre, puppetry and animated film, Manipulate is a genuinely eclectic, dynamic and captivating programme of innovative work, this year featuring over 40 leading international and Scottish-based theatre artists and animators.

Showing at Summerhall and the nearby Festival Theatre Studio for the first time, the 2020 festival promises animated films, productions, works in progress, cabaret pieces, workshops and an industry-focused event. The first Saturday of the festival, which showcases the work of more Scottish-based artists than ever, packs a concentrated programme of theatre and animated film into the day and evening.
