Audio description is used to describe what is happening on stage to a blind and visually impaired audience during the performance. This description is usually transmitted via wireless headphones, which are available free of charge at the entrance. Alternatively, there are shows where the audio description is built in as an artistic element live on stage for all to hear.

Before the shows, we also offer an introduction for blind and visually impaired audiences.

The following shows are without audio description, but are also exciting for blind and visually impaired audiences thanks to their special sound dramaturgy:

Relaxed Performance means that the atmosphere at these events is more relaxed than what one might be used to in a theatre. This is intended to make it more enjoyable, especially for those who find it difficult to sit still in hard chairs for long periods of time (for example, autistic people, people with Tourette’s, people with learning difficulties or chronic pain).

The aim is to adapt conventional theater etiquette so that everyone can experience a performance in a relaxed atmosphere. Among other things, this means:

– the Relaxed Performance is announced before the performance begins
– noises and movements from the audience are welcome
– Freedom of movement is given: The audience is allowed to leave and re-enter the room at any time, for example to go to the toilet or to get some fresh air
– We offer alternative seating in the form of cozy beanbags in the front row
– In addition, there is often the option of early boarding, i.e. early admission to the auditoriumto get used to the space and lighting situation and to find your seat in peace.

These criteria are possible in a Relaxed Performance, but not all of them are always guaranteed. Check Accessibility on each event page for further details:

In our description texts we often do not give detailed information about what happens on stage. We do this because many visitors like to be surprised. You will find all the important information on sensitive content and triggers, and on sensory stimuli such as sounds and effects, at the bottom of the respective project pages under “Content Notes”. This way, you can decide for yourself whether or not you want to be exposed to the content in question.

We mark all events with icons on various accessibility topics. Here is a detailed description or so called “Accessibility Key”:

• alternative seating

  We offer alternative seating in the form of cozy beanbags in the front row.

This is transmitted via a discreet headset/earpiece worn by the patron.

  This show is providing DGS interpreted events or events with Deaf performers. Check Accessibility on each event page for further details. German Sign Language, abbreviated to DGS, is the visual-manual language used primarily by Deaf and hard of hearing people in Germany to communicate with each other and with hearing people

• Early Boarding

This provides them with contextual information that can be understood by sighted visitors through visual perception.
