“Youth theatre is leading the way in making theatre more inclusive,” Gwen Sengers, Programmer for Youth & Education, previously told Theaterkrant. “People with a bicultural background have been visible on stage there for much longer, and companies have for quite some time been addressing topics relating to cultural background, gender, social class and other themes that shape one’s identity.”

Within the education programme of Schouwburg & Concertzaal Tilburg, special education is also taken into account. This season, no fewer than nine low‑stimulus performances are available for schools to attend. During these performances, the lights remain dimmed, the production is wheelchair accessible, and a suitable workshop is provided to help pupils process their experience.
