Thanks for Being Here

Thanks for Being Here is an ode to the audience members who make theater possible in the first place. Through a blend of video and live performance, the piece constantly throws the audience off balance. In this witty and sophisticated interplay of video and perspectives, the boundaries between watching and performing blur. But don’t worry—you don’t have to do anything. Just sit back, relax, and let us celebrate you!

After all, Ontroerend Goed has been creating unpredictable, interactive theater for over 20 years—for people who aren’t particularly fond of interactive theater. Following the successful run of their performance Are we not drawn onward to new erA at the Lessingtage, the Belgian company is returning to Hamburg. The theater collective tours the world with its bold, innovative works that invite the audience not only to watch but to become part of the performance themselves. So: Thank you for being here. We’ll treat you with care.
