Language

For each performance, the spoken language is indicated. Many performances are also (mainly) wordless. In that case, a small globe icon appears on the performance page. This means that the performance is understandable to everyone, regardless of which language you speak.

Wheelchair accessibility

All our performances are wheelchair accessible. We want your visit to run smoothly, so please let us know in advance via info@schouwburgogterop.nl. That way, we can reserve a nice spot for you!

Accessible toilets are available in De Plataan and De Samenstroom.

If you have specific questions regarding, for example, the height of any thresholds or the width of doors at one or more locations, please contact us via info@puppetinternational.nl.

Age recommendations

For all our performances, you will find a recommended age. This is a friendly guideline from the creators to give you an idea of what to expect. Of course, it is just a recommendation—you know your own child best. If you are unsure whether a performance is suitable, please feel free to ask us in advance.

Sign language interpreters and interpreters for the blind

At Puppet International, we believe that the magic of visual theatre is for everyone. That is why, for this year's festival, we are proudly collaborating with the professionals from Theater met Tolk (Theatre with Sign Language Interpreters) and the audio describers from Komt het Zien! (Come and See!). How does it work? With a sign language interpreter (Theater met Tolk): Dialogues and visual poetry are translated live into Dutch Sign Language (NGT). This ensures no one misses the essence of the story. With an audio describer (Komt het Zien!): Have low vision or no vision? An interpreter will describe the puppets, costumes, and on-stage action live through headphones. Before the show, there is a special 'meet & feel' session, where you can explore the set and props up close. Which performances? We will be announcing the programme very soon.
