The aim of 5D is to allow people with an (in)visible disability to take part in the cultural sector as an actor or in a position behind the scenes. 5D produces several artistic theatre plays independently or in co-production with mainstream theatre companies. Disabled actors play alongside non-disabled actors. Besides plays, 5D develops art installations with a theatrical encounter with the public. 5D also advises cultural festivals on the area of accessibility.
