Koffers vol Annie is a musical ode to Annie M.G.Schmidt. For parents a feast of recognition, for their children an introduction to the wonderful world of Annie M.G. Schmidt.

Erik Beekes plays and sings about a traveller. He has two suitcases. Suitcases that are very important for his musical journey. In one suitcase are songs and in the other are poems by Holland's most important writer of children's poetry and prose: Annie M.G. Schmidt. Like no other, she knew how to stimulate the imagination and the thoughts of children. Crazy songs, beautiful songs, naughty songs, sweet poems, weird poems, funny poems. Children are taken to a world where reality and fantasy are intertwined. By means of living poetry they get in touch with the words from the pen of this unique author. Never before have children found two suitcases so special

Erik Beekes is a versatile singer/actor. He played in television series, feature films and musicals, made CDs and presented the World Christmas Circus in Royal Theatre Carré. In recent years he has concentrated on playing for children. Also with poetry and singing he brought several seasons the children's concert Droomwolken (Dream clouds). For his dedication to youth theatre Eric Beekes was awarded in 2007 by the Universal Peace Federations for Children

Koffers vol Annie, after an idea of Roel Coppelmans, is directed by Arie Cupé. Accompanied by pianist Wolfgang Maiwald Erik Beekes brings a cheerful musical theater program for everyone from 4 years.
