For us, “An Art Theatre for All” also means a theatre that is open, inclusive and accessible to everyone. To this end, we are committed to improving and implementing our products and services through ongoing dialogue with our audiences.

A key aspect of this vision is the Piccolo Aperto project, set up with the contribution of the Fondazione di Comunità Milano: a structured process aimed at fostering profound and lasting change. 
Audio descriptions, tactile tours, surtitles, translations into Italian Sign Language, simplified materials, decompression spaces and an accessible website are just some of the aspects of a constantly evolving process aimed at consolidating our theatre’s role as a model for inclusion.
 

SPACES
Our spaces offer routes that are free of architectural barriers and are equipped with toilets for the disabled. The auditoriums have reserved spaces for spectators with visual, hearing or motor-related disabilities. 

Assisted listening
Our spaces offer the use of the free ListenWIFI app, which allows the audio of shows to be listened to directly from a smartphone via earphones, hearing aids or cochlear implants. Find out more about Listen Everywhere!, a project promoted by a.l.f.a. – Associazione Lombarda Famiglie Audiolesi with the contribution of the Lombardy Region and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.

Touch tour and audio descriptions
A touch tour is a sensory tour with the guidance of our operators dedicated to blind and visually impaired spectators to explore the stage, the costumes and the props a few hours before the show begins. 
After the touch tour, during the show an audio description is played through headphones, providing an account of the show without neglecting the aspect of emotion, offering the possibility to imagine and interpret the action on the stage.
