ACCESIBILIDAD

La inclusión de personas en situación de discapacidad es una de nuestras prioridades. Por eso desarrollamos, además del sobretitulado en segundas lenguas, sistemas innovadores para facilitar la accesibilidad al teatro y la ópera al público sordo o con discapacidad auditiva. El sobretitulado adaptado se puede ofrecer a la vista de todo el público o en dispositivos móviles individuales, o bien en ambos soportes simultáneamente. También colaboramos con expertos cualificados para ofrecer audiodescripción para espectadores con discapacidades visuales.
Ayudamos a los teatros, óperas y festivales a poner a punto e instalar un sistema de sobretitulado temporal o permanente que les permita incluir a todos los espectadores con independencia de sus necesidades.
¡Trabajemos juntos para hacer accesibles los espectáculos en directo!
“Tablet Project” at NT Gent
Together with NT Gent and the University of Antwerp’s Department of Applied Linguistics/Translators and Interpreters, we are working on a project that pursues the idea of all-round accessible theatre. The performances of COMPASSIE, directed by Milo Rau, on 4th and 5th March 2020 in Minnemeers at NT Gent will be equally accessible for people with visual impairments and blind people thanks to audio description as they will be for people with hearing impairments and the Deaf thanks to translation into Flemish sign language and surtitles.
Our surtitle software, [S], brings these threads together on a technical level in that it allows an individual to simultaneously trigger the various versions. The users will have the opportunity to individually choose their preferred version, which will then be audible, visible and legible on the tablets distributed:
- Audio description via sound recording
- Flemish sign language via video
- Surtitles adapted for people with disabilities
- Interlingual surtitles
With this project, we want to show the realm of possibilities and to seek out further partners who, with us and our existing partners, want to ensure that accessibility in theatre, opera and the performing arts is no longer an exception.
