Accessibility

Upon arrival, you can announce your presence by pressing the PMR bell, located at 77 Rue des Tanneurs. A fixed access ramp is available in the courtyard for a door width of 74 cm. Another removable access ramp is available for wider wheelchairs, on request. Access to the foyer is via the Resto entrance under the porch. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance from our reception staff.

Shows at L’Envers are accessible to PRMs, but there is no toilet. The entrance to the Salle L’Envers is via rue des Tanneurs 87 (1000 Brussels). It is 30 metres from door to door.

Shows performed in the small auditorium (at the back of the theatre) are not wheelchair accessible. To access the small auditorium, you must go through the back of the theatre (rue Vanderhaegen 30, 1000 Brussels). There are 160 metres from door to door. There is then a flight of stairs to get there.

The shows in the main auditorium (with and without text) are accessible to the hearing impaired via a high-definition headphone system. This system, which operates via wifi, picks up all the sounds of the show – music, background sounds, actors’ voices – which are picked up by microphones and redistributes them over the wifi network. Hearing-impaired spectators can use an application to access these sounds and choose the volume. You can download the application directly by following this link. Headphones and smartphones are available free of charge.

We also provide balloons that allow you to feel the vibrations caused by the soundscapes of the shows. These balloons are available for shows identified by our team as naturally accessible* to deaf and hard-of-hearing people:

Shows with French surtitles: L’Angelo del Focolare by Emma Dante, Ayoub by Marina Otero and Ibrahim Ibnou Goush.

Shows without text: Variations sur les passions humaines by Cie Mossoux-Bonté, Lignes de fracture by Cie Michèle Noiret, Dimanche by Focus & Chaliwaté.

To benefit from a balloon or the high-definition headphone system, you can notify us by email in advance (before 5pm on the day of your visit) and/or come to our reception desk on the evening of your visit—ideally at least 20 minutes before the start of the show—and our staff will assist you. This will enable us to manage the loan of equipment (we have ten balloons and ten headsets) and the appropriate location in the hall as effectively as possible.

* These labels have been carefully considered with specialist associations, but remain subjective and probably premature with regard to shows currently in development. Please feel free to contact us to discuss this further.

We aim to make certain performances accessible through specific measures. We have already worked with:

• The I See Foundation, which provides image descriptions for blind and visually impaired people;
• Dreamwall Studio, which provides subtitles tailored for deaf and hard-of-hearing people;
• LSFB interpreters (notably Julien Wavelet).

We are taking part in Disability Week 2026 (an initiative of the City of Brussels) and are offering a service for deaf and hard-of-hearing people for the performance of Harmony.

On Saturday 5 December 2026, the performance of Harmony will be subtitled for deaf and hard-of-hearing people (by Dreamwall Studio) and followed by a meet-and-greet with the artistic team, during which the discussions will be interpreted into LSFB by Julien Wavelet.

Booking details will be announced in autumn 2026. In the meantime, you can already email info@lestanneurs.be to be contacted when the time comes.

Holders of the European Disability Card benefit from our reduced rate, as does the person accompanying a disabled person.

Reduced rate for shows during the season: €12
