No actors, no technicians. Just a box. And you. The instructions are clear: Invite a group of people, on a specific night, at a specific time. Let the audience take their seats. Place the box at the centre of the stage. The audience is waiting. An audience member stands up and opens the box. The show has started.From the Hong Kong Arts Festival to the Milan Triennale and Wow Festival San Diego, this Belgian theatrical composition has been enthralling audiences across the world since it premiered in November 2025. Now it’s Didsbury’s turn…Ontroerend Goed are one of Europe's leading contemporary performance companies.'Testament to Ontroerend Goed’s brilliant creativity, and a quiet, simple, yet profound reminder of the importance of shared presence.' ★★★★★ Northern Arts ReviewOntroerend Goed is an internationally acclaimed theatre and performance collective based in Ghent, Belgium. Founded in 1994, they are celebrated for their highly interactive, unpredictable, and genre-defying productions that frequently blur the boundaries between the performers and the audience.Ontroerend Goed (a punning name, roughly translated as “Feel Estate”) produces self-devised work grounded in the here and now, inviting their audiences to participate as well as observe. They first emerged on the international scene in 2007, with The Smile Off Your Face, a one-on-one show in which the audience is tied to a wheelchair and then blindfolded. Their hit show Once and For All... was an uncompromising celebration of raw teenage energy on stage. With every new piece of work, Ontroerend Goed provides an intense experience constructed in reality; life goes on during the performance.The company has won numerous prizes across Europe and has hit New York, Sydney and London to critical acclaim. Their work is currently being performed in countries around the world.Ontroerend Goed functions as a collective guided by the artistic director Alexander Devriendt. Convinced that every idea deserves its own brand of artistic expression, the company cherishes a sense of ownership for every single contributor to their work, from actors to light designers, scenographers to conceptual thinkers. Ontroerend Goed fabricates possible realities that question how we as individuals position ourselves in the world today. Covering a history of the universe in one evening, turning spectators into voters who eliminate actors, guiding strangers through a labyrinth of mirrors and avatars to meet themselves, the company has made it its trademark to be unpredictable in content and form.Ontroerend Goed is:Alexander Devriendt, Charlotte De Bruyne, Karolien De Bleser, Aurélie Lannoy, Leonore Spee, Samir Veen, Remi Cosijn, Wim Smet, Hannes Pieters, Luna Boone, Justine Boutens & Beth Thyrion. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/3fd4d4e0-6e39-11f1-9142-23c31cc090e3-rimg-w585-h740-dc010101-gmir.jpg https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t3Aiu0mAOms - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/manchester/handle-with-care-ontroerend-goed/100001989115289376 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, festivals, performances, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes - Location: St Catherine's Community Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 2, max: 13.31, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Manchester - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: St Catherine's Community Centre - **lat**: 53.4164494 - **long**: -2.2220071 - **full address**: St Catherine's Community Centre, School Lane, Manchester, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Handle with care - Ontroerend Goed - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/b1660eb57b5e0e5642e536909f46836c040f3dbe4e4095517cc05321d3170747-rimg-w1200-h617-dc777a75-gmir.jpg?v=1778589078 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Handle with care - Ontroerend Goed being held? - **A:** Handle with care - Ontroerend Goed takes place on Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 06:45 pm at St Catherine's Community Centre, School Lane, Manchester, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Handle with care - Ontroerend Goed? - **A:** Handle with care - Ontroerend Goed is organized by Didsbury Arts Festival. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
