About Ontroerend Goed
Thanks for Being Here is a contemporary theatre piece by Ontroerend Goed, performed at the Main House at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The company transforms traditional theatre into an experience that playfully shifts perspectives through video, dissolving the boundaries between audience and performers. Despite its interactive nature, audiences are free to simply observe as performers navigate the space — this is not about putting anyone on the spot, but about recognising that without the audience, there is no theatre. The show runs for 75 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. It involves audience participation.
Why see this show?
Ontroerend Goed turn theatrical form itself into the subject — this is a rare and genuinely affecting piece of work that leaves you thinking differently about your role as an audience member.
