Barrier-free theatre

The Theater Heidelberg wants to make access to events possible for as many interested people as possible.

This includes, in addition to barrier-free access to the venues

Marguerre-Saal (stalls with a total of 5 barrier-free seats)
Alter Saal (stalls with a total of 3 barrier-free seats)
Zwinger 1 and Zwinger 3 (access via stair lift up to max. 225 kg)

in the new building on Theaterstraße, the theatre box office, the cloakrooms and sufficient sanitary facilities, which are designed to be accessible to the disabled.

Inductive listening systems

At performances in the Marguerre-Saal, the Alter Saal and Zwinger 1, inductive hearing systems offer the possibility of improving the quality of hearing for hearing-impaired people. The electromagnetic waves of these induction loops can be received by suitable hearing aids (with T-coil). To do this, the hearing aid must be set to T-mode before the event begins.

To make the best use of this service, we recommend that you use floor rows 2 to 13 in the Marguerre-Saal and floor rows 1 to 7 in the Alter Saal.

If you have a hearing aid but do not know whether it has a T-coil, please consult your hearing care professional.

Content notes

Notes on sensitive content

From the 2023/24 season onwards, the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg will be providing content notes or information on sensitive content for productions. You can click on these notes online on the respective page - or not, depending on your personal interest. The content notes point out that certain topics are dealt with and scenic means are used which can trigger strong reactions. Selected topics for which we write a content note are physical, psychological or sexualised violence, child abuse, war, auto-aggressive behaviour, suicide and discriminatory language.

The Visit

The texts from Annie Ernaux's »A Girl's Story« used in the production address sexualised violence. In »The Visit«, alcohol addiction is dealt with and a murder is staged.

The Tobacconist

The production addresses antisemitism in language and war in language and images. One scene contains the loud sound of a siren.

The Blazing World

Strobe-like light is used in this production.

The Man Outside

In this production, war experiences and suicide are thematised in the language and partly also in the performance.

Freud Is Dreaming :: Anna O.

The text deals with sexualised violence within the family.

Hamlet

Suicide is a theme in this production. In addition, several murders are staged.

Über Leben als Ukrainer*in

The production includes descriptions of war crimes and sounds that can be a trigger for some people (the sound of a siren, loud explosions, low-flying planes), as well as video footage from the current war in Ukraine.

Zertifizierte Luftqualität

Die Luftqualität im Marguerre-Saal und im Alten Saal ist geprüft durch den Fachverband DTHG, Deutsche Theatertechnische Gesellschaft.

Die Lüftungstechnik in diesen Räumlichkeiten ermöglicht gemäß lufthygienischer Leitlinien zur Coronavirus-Pandemie nach Umweltbundesamt und Beauftragter der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien einen hohen Infektionsschutz.
