BARRIERS|FREE Access to figure theatre Barriers-free – doesn't exist! That's right. Neither linguistically (in the singular we know the term in an inclusive context), nor in terms of content. For in life, what is really free of barriers and accessible to all? The utopia in our neologism tries to visualize the fact that there are as many different barriers as there are people with different needs. The first step to fewer barriers is to recognize them as such. For it is only the conscious perception of obstacles that makes it possible to selectively overcome them and transform them into productive accessible opportunities. This edition pins down barriers in various contexts (for example, social, aesthetic, or infrastructural), and makes clear that puppet theatre can offer perspectives for overcoming such hurdles in its own specific way.
Barrieren-frei – gibt es doch gar nicht! Stimmt: Weder sprachlich – im Singular kennen wir den Begriff aus einem inklusiven Kontext – noch inhaltlich.
