Accessibility

These visitor tips aspire to make everybody feel at home at the festival, regardless of needs, identities or spoken language. 

Accessibility for people with reduced mobility

The pictograms below help you identify venues that are wheelchair accessible, either independently or with assistance. For access to certain places, it will be necessary for wheelchair users to inform us of your visit in advance. This can be done when making your reservation online, by email or by phone. Our team will then take care of informing the venue that will welcome you.

Please do not hesitate to contact our box office team in case of doubt or if you have a particular need (tickets@kfda.be – +32 (0)2 210 87 37).

 

 

Languages and surtitles

Our communication is multilingual and we try to provide our information in French, Dutch and English as often as possible.

Surtitles

Each performance is surtitled in French, Dutch and/or English, depending on the language of the production. Spoken and surtitled languages are indicated on the dedicated event page.

Performances interpreted in Sign Language

Attend a performance interpreted in Sign Language! One of the performances of Les jours de mon abandon by Gaia Saitta is accessible to Deaf and hearing-impaired people thanks to interpretation in Sign Language of French-Speaking Belgium (LSFB), and one of the performances of La vie secrète des vieux by Mohamed El Khatib will be interpreted in Flemish Sign Language (VGT). During these performances, the interpreter is situated at the side of the stage, facing the people who wish to benefit from it.

Audio description & touch tour

With audio description, shows are accessible to visually impaired people. The technique consists of a live description of the visual content of the piece, broadcast through headphones so as not to interfere with the smooth running of the performance. Prior to the performance, visually impaired people can also take part in a touch tour, where they are allowed to touch set pieces and costumes. This year, one of the performances of La vie secrète des vieux by Mohamed El Khatib will be audio- described in French and preceded by a touch tour.
