Accessibility
Accessibility is at the core of the work developed by TBA. Our policies cover matters of physical and social accessibility for both artistic teams and audience members.
Physical accessibility of audience members
Nowadays TBA is an accessible building for audience members with reduced mobility. Wheelchair users will be able to access TBA’s main auditorium on the basement level (level -1) using the lift by the main door. In the main auditorium, there is a lift platform that provides access to wheelchair users to the stage. Our box office is on the ground floor (level 0) and has a lowered counter. You can find one accessible restroom on the basement level (level -1).
Physical accessibility for artistic teams
TBA’s Artists Entrance is not yet accessible for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility. But there is an accessible green room on level -1. To access our working areas through the public accesses, please coordinate your needs with our Production team.

The closest step-free Metro station is Rato (Yellow line).
