Manipulate 2025: From La Fantasmagorie’ to the Future Reviewed Edinburgh’s Manipulate Festival 2025 lit up the city from 1st to 9th February, delivering a bold blast of visual theatre, puppetry, and animated film that left its mark.

"From La Fantasmagorie’ to the Future certainly brought something wild and unique to Manipulate 2025."
