Beuk! is a cheerful, cartoonish slapstick comedy for everyone aged four and up. Full of chases, merry fights and unexpected friendship. Winner of the Silver Cricket 2024.

Sjef the Mouse loses his home when his tree is cut down without mercy. Panicked, he flees and finds refuge under a log cabin in the woods. There it is dry and food is within reach. But Beech the woodcutter is not happy, because the cabin belongs to her. That mouse must go, no matter what the cost. When Owl also appears, chaos is complete and the three get increasingly entangled in a battle for the forest. Because to whom does the forest really belong.

Beuk! is a family performance full of physical humor. The audience is drawn into a cartoon-like world of spectacular chases and comical falls. High-level slapstick, lots of throwing and smashing and things are allowed to break. But above all, Beech! is a moving story about friendship between humans and animals and their shared love of nature.
