Accessibility
We are committed to making all visitors feel at home with us at the festival. We therefore endeavour to make access to our facilities as barrier-free as possible and provide various ways of offering this. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Simone Perret: perret@fantoche.ch or +41 56 560 20 59.
