Specific arrangements

Relax Sessions 
Relax sessions offer an inclusive caring environment for people whose disability (autism, multiple disabilities, mental or psychic disability, Alzheimer…) may give rise to atypical and unpredictable behaviour during the show. Artists and audiences are aware, the opera-house’s standard procedures are more flexible and everyone can experience emotions freely without fearing stares from others.

In partnership with the association Culture Différence, which supports performance halls and venues in their desire to facilitate access to culture for people with complex disabilities.

With the support of the Fondation Malakoff Humanis Handicap
