Accessibility
Accessibility is an important topic and we strive towards becoming a more inclusive institution. Therefore brut is continuously working on providing access and creating diverse and longlasting formats of accessibility – on, in front of and behind the stage. Your feedback is important to us. Please feel free to send questions and suggestions to brehm@brut-wien.at or contact us directly at +43 676 587 8723. We are available by phone from Monday to Friday from 11:00 to 18:00.

The ticket for accompanying persons for wheelchair users and people with a disability pass is free of charge. We kindly ask you to show your ID when picking up the tickets (for yourself and your companion) at the box office.
Seating
There is no fixed seating in our theater space. If you require a specific seat, please send an email to us at tickets@brut-wien.at with information on which seats would be ideal for you or contact one of our employees at the evening of the performance. To plan in advance, please contact Katrin Brehm at brehm@brut-wien.at and by phone at +43 676 587 8723 from Monday to Friday, 11:00 to 18:00.
Content Notes
If necessary, you will find a paragraph on ‘Content Notes’ under ‘Dates & Tickets’ directly on the page of the productions. There you will find notes on sensitive topics and the use of theatre effects such as fog or strobe lights.
As many performances are world premieres, we ask for your understanding if this information is added at a later date. We will do our best to inform you as early as possible.
Assistance dogs
Assistance dogs are allowed in all relevant areas and rooms. We are happy if the assistance dog is registered in advance at brehm@brut-wien.at or via Whats App +43 676 587 8723. Assistance dogs include guide dogs, service dogs and signalling dogs.

Public transport in Vienna
Almost all public transport in Vienna is barrier-free. There is barrier-free access, such as lifts or ramps, at every station. In most stations, floor guide strips help blind and visually impaired people to find their way to stairs, escalators and lifts. We recommend using the ‘WienMobil’ app, which provides real-time information. It not only shows which means of transport are accessible, but also provides information about current lift breakdowns at stations. You can also select in the settings under ‘Mobility’ that only barrier-free departures and routes are displayed.
