We are inclusive

Naturally, it is our commitment also for this special edition of the Theater Spektakel to enable people with disabilities to attend the performances without barriers and obstacles. To reconcile this irrevocable aspiration with the pandemic guidelines, the creative, Corona-proofed solutions of the artists and the local circumstances of the decentralised venues has been much like squaring a circle. Nevertheless, we have again managed to realise a series of inclusive measures. This has been made possible due to valuable input of our inclusion advisory board as well as generous support of the foundation «Denk an mich».

For visually-impaired

Performances with audiodescription

On several days, the great opera performance «Sun & Sea» at the Werft will be audio-described. Headsets are available at the entrance.
