With touch tours, brut Wien offers an alternative to verbal introductions to performances, focusing on senses that have previously been neglected during theatre visits. Tactile tours are aimed at people with and without disabilities. The format enables visitors to get closer to the stage, costumes and props via their sense of touch and explore them intensively. Visitors can also get in touch with performers and receive a wide range of contextual information.
