Manipulate Festival: Europe, Meine Liebe, Mon Amour

About Manipulate Festival: Europe, Meine Liebe, Mon Amour

An evocative and ambitious new visual theatre work inspired by memories and dreams of travels across Europe; a love letter to journeys both over land and into the imagination.

Europe, Meine Leibe, Mon Amour is a exciting new visual theatre work by Bruno Gallagher, unfolding through four playful, surreal vignettes combining physical performance, object manipulation, mask work, costume, and dance.

Each “absurdity” is inspired by Bruno’s memories and dreams of travelling across Europe, blending fragments of autobiography with imagination. The performance is accompanied by evocative soundscapes and recorded music, creating a rich, sensory world.

At the heart of the work is a celebration of the power of creativity and animated forms, as Bruno brings to life his own drawings, transforming two-dimensional shapes, colours, and forms into moving, living compositions. Bruno invites the audience to come along on a journey of imagination.
