In its 2026 edition, Short Theatre continues to shape gestures oriented towards the creation of an accessible festival, exploring solutions that make the world of the arts an environment everyone can move through. This happens through the implementation of initiatives addressed to audiences with disabilities, also drawing on collaborations with local institutions.
Audiences with disabilities can purchase a reduced ticket and request free entry for any companions, by writing to boxoffice@shorttheatre.org.
