Exploring different points of view, different backgrounds and different lives, Belgian theatre performance group Ontroerend Goed puts the audience at the centre of their new show. Every person has their own here and now, built from their past, personal experiences and expectations.

Using video, director Alexander Devriendt creates different spatial perspectives, which reveal how we – often almost inevitably – consider our own beliefs and backgrounds to be authoritative. Furthermore, the company plays with time, which is slowed down, accelerated and rewound.

The theatre hall is an echo chamber for a while. The trademark of Ontroerend Goed – awarded with numerous prizes at festivals in Europe, Australia and North America – is the theatrical mind game. Time and again the so-called contract with the spectator – one is on stage, the other sits safely in the dark – is broken. The audience is put on display, manipulated and misled, often with a political slant. This is also the case in the innovative and exciting Thanks for Being Here, the most recent production of this unpredictable company.
