The multi-award winning Ontroerend Goed returns to the Fringe after last year’s sell-out production with yet another innovative exercise in audience-interaction.

Building upon the Traverse theatre's reputation for staging bold new works, Internal promises an intimate, unconventional theatre experience in an "individual playground." Within this space, the challenge of building up a meaningful relationship with a stranger in 25 minutes is taken to task in a spontaneous setting complete with drinks and mandolin playing. Internal looks set to twist the formats of speed-dating and group therapy to create a unique engagement with the audience where variation and diversity are the key to each performance.

Having made his name with this sort of free, unfettered theatre, an Ontroerend Goed performance will certainly offer something different for the more restless theatregoer.
