On the Landiwiese, there are two wheelchair-accessible toilets (with Eurokey), and one in both the Werft and the Rote Fabrik (without Eurokey). The restaurant «Ensemble@L’Andis» offers a serviced area with table service.

Trigger warnings / Content Notes
We are aware that the content of some of our shows could trigger or evoke negative feelings that could be overwhelming, disturbing or hurtful. This is why we provide respective information on which productions deal with sensitive content and where special sensory stimuli occur. In this way, we offer our viewers the opportunity to prepare for a performance that may be difficult for them and to decide for themselves whether they want to see it or not.
Thanks
Starting in summer 2025, the Zurich Theater Spektakel will enter a three-year collaboration with inclusion experts from Sensability e.V. We would also like to thank our Inclusion Advisory Board for their valuable input in implementing accessibility measures, and the foundation Denk an mich for their generous support.
