We consider the Free Republic of Vienna a space that ought to be open and accessible to everyone. That is why we actively seek to recognise and gradually take down barriers – on, in front of and behind the stage.
We are constantly working on improvements and are glad to receive feedback, questions and suggestions by email at barrierefreiheit@festwochen.at or phone at +43 1 589 22 860.
Language
Most of our performances include German and English surtitles. Some events are also interpreted into Austrian Sign Language. Find out more about what is on offer on the pages describing each play or event.
Barrier-free access
Venues marked with a wheelchair icon offer wheelchair-accessible seating and/or barrier-free access. The detailed descriptions of each production provide up-to-date details on sensitive content, including the use of stage effects such as theatre fog or strobe lighting as well as age recommendations, age restrictions and trigger warnings.
