BURGERKOEKOEK

About

Burger Koekoek is the performing name of Nijmegen theatre group Piepschuim, built around two central figures: Cor Burger, who works as a language philosopher and songwriter, and Robbert Koekoek, a multi instrumentalist. Together they make engaged music theatre that tackles social and societal subjects, wrapping it all in Dutch language lyrics and a strong sense of humour. Their work sits in a tradition alongside artists like Maarten van Roozendaal, Kiki Schippers and Jeroen van Merwijk. If you enjoy sharp, witty Dutch language theatre with songs that actually have something to say, this is a good place to start.
