Manipulate Festival Party

Information

Dance the night away with Manipulate Festival audience members, guests, artists, delegates and the festival team. The festival party is a chance to bring the whole Manipulate community together to celebrate the 2026 edition of our festival and welcoming our guests from around the world.

The night will feature pop-up performances and puppets and is headlined by celebrated Czech theatrical-folk music group Fekete Seretlek, who blend Balkan, Russian and Klezmer and other global music in their own original style. The group, composed of theatre and music artists, will take you on a journey from polyrhythmic Macedonian tunes through Czech-flavored salsa to Bulgarian disco and Orwellian post-apocalyptic anthems. This fusion of genres, cultures, and energies draws you into a dark cabaret, only to spin you into a wild dance party that feels like it might never end. Let yourself be swept away into their chaotic, mystical, and playful world full of unexpected twists.

Everyone is invited!
