Ontroerend Goed is a theatre performance group that creates intimate, individual performances as well as larger-scale theatre plays. Following this double track, we give ourselves the freedom to explore the boundaries and codes of performing arts and to open up theatre to the variable expectations and tastes of a wide and diverse audience.

The name ONTROEREND GOED is a play on words, best translated as Feel Estate.

In English, we offer the following productions:

A History of Everything
All That Is Wrong
OG Supports - XXXO
Audience
Teenage Riot
Under the Influence
The Smile off Your Face
Internal
Once And For All We're Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut Up And Listen

Hattrick for Once and for All... in Edinburgh

Once and for All... didn't only manage to win a Herald Angels Award, it also took in a Total Theatre Award and a Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Festival. Last year, Ontroerend Goed was the first Belgian theatre company to be awarded both prestigeous prizes for the individual show The Smile Off Your Face. To win in Edinburgh in two successive years, is quite unique. Congratulations to the whole crew, including our partners Kopergietery and Richard Jordan!

Once and for all… fringeing in Edinburgh

A wild bunch of thirteen youngsters is heading for the Theatre Festival in Edinburgh to perform Once and for all we're gonna tell you who we are so shut up and listen, our physical theatre show that challenges the clichés about adolescents. The performance received critical acclaim in Belgium, among which a five star review in the national newspaper De Morgen. To be seen in Traverse Theatre from 12 till 24 August.

Australian Awards for The Smile Off Your Face

On March 16, Ontroerend Goed won a Fringe Award for Best Theatre at the Adelaide Theatre Festival in Australia. Another success was David's stunt to have the full audience at the award ceremony scan "Ontroerend Goed". The Smile Off Your Face was also awarded with an Advertiser Fringe Award.

Fringe First Award for The Smile Off Your Face
