                        Description

                        Espace Libre is a partner of the Carte d'accompagnement loisir (CAL), which grants free admission to the companion of a cardholder. It's best to let the box office know you're coming, and to let them know you'll be there when you arrive.
                        We offer relaxed performances open to all. The sound and visual ambience of the show, as well as the reception area, are adapted to create a calm and inclusive environment. Some performances are surtitled or interpreted in LSQ. In addition, sensory tours allow you to explore the set and/or costumes by touch before the shows.
                        Please contact them to find out when these and other casual performances are scheduled.
                        A Visual Cues Guide is available, as well as an escort service from Frontenac Station if required. (in french)
