The Opéra-Comique has introduced "Relax" labelled performances. What does this mean?
These sessions offer an inclusive, caring approach, designed to make it easier for people with disabilities (autism, multiple disabilities, mental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, etc.) to come to the theatre and to behave atypically during the performance. The audience and the artists are warned and the usual codes are relaxed so that everyone can enjoy the show and experience its emotions without fear of the gaze of others.
