Ooghoogte – Alex Sijm

Ooghoogte - Alex Sijm

Cabaret

Eye levelholds a mirror up to us. Merciless, you could say. Alex has been in a wheelchair since May 2024 due to the muscle disorder HSP. Based on his experiences as a novice wheelchair user, he investigates how inclusive we really are.

Dealing with clumsiness
Every threshold becomes a bump. And there appears to be a lot of them. How do you get on a plane? How do you enter a monumental building with a stately landing or a conference about, yes, accessibility? With a great sense of humor and the necessary self-mockery, Alex addresses our well-intentioned clumsiness, unsolicited advice and forced helpfulness.

Experience the difference
With Eye levelAlex makes inclusivity tangible. He introduces us to the practical obstacles and social and human challenges he faces as a wheelchair user. The central question is: is he allowed and able to participate in society?

  • Afterwards there will be a discussion in the hall
  • In collaboration with the Eindhoven Library, this performance is part of Mental Health Week.
