Beumer & Drost<br />
Scintillating originality<br />
Toneelschap Beumer & Drost is a company of theatre makers that allows the opportunity to<br />
escape from reality by offering boundless fantasy and infectious onstage pleasure. Since 1997,<br />
the company has been producing family shows for wide audiences of 8 years and above for<br />
theatres in the Netherlands and Belgium. The Beumer & Drost signature is apparent in everything<br />
they produce; in their approach to acting, in fantasy, in mime and in song. They devise,<br />
develop, write and compose all their own work. Toneelschap Beumer & Drost has declared a<br />
never-ending quest for scintillating originality.<br />
International<br />
During the last few years, Beumer & Drost has performed in England, Austria, France, US, Canada,<br />
Switzerland and Germany. In 2008, Beumer & Drost will be performing Hobbit de voorstelling/<br />
Hobbit the play at the IPAY festival in Tampa Bay, Florida. In Hobbit, two men make a miraculous<br />
journey on and under the stage of their imagination; they become entwined in a comedy film<br />
in which everything makes a noise and sound is given a colour. The shows Ingeblikt/Canned and<br />
Gasten/Guests are also highly suitable for touring. Ingeblikt/Canned is a complicated embroilment<br />
about a rusty old can containing a few film fragments that have stuck together, but which are<br />
otherwise unconnected. At least ... this is how it seems. The Gasten/Guests build one last changing-room<br />
alongside the 205,212 that already exist in the Netherlands. A light-hearted, bouncy,<br />
strange, bizarre, and yet poetic show about sporting affairs.<br />
