Beuk! is a family show by Kim van Zeben Theaterproducties for everyone aged 4 and up. A physical rollercoaster in which the audience is swept into a cartoonish world, full of spectacular chases, fights, and comical falls. High-level slapstick, lots of throwing and smashing, and things are allowed to break. But above all, Beuk! is a moving story about true friendship between humans and animals and their shared love for nature.
In September 2025, Beuk! toured criss-cross through China for a month, and Kim and Rogier performed the show twenty times for the Chinese audience.
