The Pitch Black Theatre is part of the Pitch Black Projects which are organised in completely encapsulated pitch black spaces. You have a change to experience fine art, music, theatre and radio plays by relying on other senses than sight. Come and experience the world as the visually impaired do and discover thrilling shades from the depths of darkness.

The Pitch Black Projects consist of four independent parts that are described in more detail on the next double page. Select the most interesting or participate in all four of them.
