League of the wheelchair users

The League of Wheelchair Users operates the BARKA Theatre as one of its activities supporting the independent life of people with disabilities, as a space for artistic, leisure and integration activities of people with disabilities. It is home to 6 permanently active integrated groups (blind, people with physical, mental and combined disabilities), as well as more than 40 regular amateur, semi-professional, dance and drama groups and special cultural projects. There are dozens of regular festivals of student and foreign language theatre and other artistic projects - for example, integration morning performances for school groups supporting the process of inclusion, screenings, benefit concerts, suburban integration theatre camps, etc. The FEST IN festival of integrated art presents the activities of integrated groups. This gives people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in regular artistic activities, which are often equal in quality to professional performances. Of course, this is also connected with self-development, community sharing and support, and social inclusion. BARKA Theatre is also a workplace that offers employment to people with mental and physical disabilities in associated artistic professions (stage technician, cleaning, bar/box office operation, etc.)
