Making performances accessible through technology

PALMYRA TEATRO, ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCES THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

We have remained active for ten years now, within the framework of a collaboration agreement with leading international references in the field of INCLUSIVE PERFORMING ARTS, such as Palmyra Teatro, which includes actors and actresses with and without disabilities. We provide them with the necessary technology so that this pioneering project in artistic and social integration for people with diverse abilities can continue to move forward, creating performances adapted for all types of audiences — regardless of their sensory or mobility barriers.

In recent years, other prominent entities such as the Compañía Nacional de Danza have joined this collaboration, incorporating into their performances both the technology developed under our agreement and the guidance of Palmyra Teatro and CESyA, bringing their creations to audiences of all kinds.

The technology we contribute to this project makes it possible to address the diversity of audiences with hearing, sensory, visual, intellectual, and motor disabilities.

This reflects a firm commitment to making dance and theatre accessible through tools such as audio description for people with visual impairments, as well as hearing loop systems and amplified sound services for people with hearing disabilities.

Before the audio-described performances, blind and visually impaired audience members are also offered the opportunity to take part in a tactile tour, allowing them to explore the world of the stage and its textures through scale models, as well as experience the pointe shoes and fabrics used in the performers’ costumes.
