“Last year we included the “touch tour” which consists of the visually impaired audience being able to touch the scenery or costumes and even, in the cases of the National Company, they were able to talk to the cast and ask them interesting questions. This way they know their voices better and enjoy the performance more. Of course, there is also audio description of the works.” In the case of people with hearing disabilities, they were able to attend different works that had overtitling. And they wanted to open a new path with the adaptation of the theater for people with intellectual disabilities, in which a prior explanation was made to help in the understanding of the work and also included the surtitling. This year they are working to improve the initiatives that were carried out last year, and propose new options. “
