Access

Wheelchair users need to register by e-mail kasse@dampfzentrale.ch in advance to ensure we have a suitable spot ready and waiting for them. The assistant or companion of a disabled person is eligible for a free ticket.

An audio description of selected performances will be available for people with visual impairments. Unfortunately, due to the costs involved, this offer is not available for all performances.
The audio description can be used from all seats and in all price categories. Dampfzentrale Bern provides headphones or induction loops. If you want to hire equipment, we recommend that you arrive half an hour before the performance starts. You can also enjoy the audio description on your own smartphone and headphones. Simply download the Mobile Connect app to your smartphone. Then connect your smartphone to the mobile connect WLAN (password: audiodescription).

An audio description provides a live description of the dance performance during the actual show. Further, the events on stage are depicted in German. For more information regarding audio description production, please listen to the podcast:

We offer surtitles for selected performances.

Owing to costs, we are only able to offer sign language at selected performances.

Some shows are offered as «relaxed performances». They are intended for anyone who would benefit from a more informal theatre and event setting. This means:

• Visitors are allowed to get up and move about during the performances.
• They are also free to make noise in the process without causing a disruption.
• Drinks can also be taken into the performances (except into the Turbinensaal).
• Visitors are also able to leave and return to the auditorium as many times as they wish during performances. The foyer is available as a retreat space.
• Members of our team are on hand in the foyer during these relaxed performances.
