'Grip': a performance that won't easily let go of you. 

How do you get a grip on your past and on love? How do you get a grip on a world that is murky and in which boundaries are vague? Making the right decision, controlling the situation, keeping yourself in check: it seems harder than ever. 

Before you know it, you're stepping over or into something. Maybe it's better to let go as much as possible. After all, too much grip isn't good either. But how do you do that? Following his previous production 'Karma', nominated for a Poelifinario, Rayen Panday now presents 'Grip', a production that doesn't let go easily. "Ninety minutes of crafted and entertaining comedy. Rayen Panday establishes himself as a flawed doubter, who sometimes goes ruthlessly over the line." (Theaterkrant on 'Karma')

Website: Rayen Panday

"With genuine emotion, he has the audience eating out of his hand." 

Het Parool over 'Karma'

"Ninety minutes of crafted and entertaining comedy. Rayen Panday establishes himself as a fallible doubter who sometimes goes ruthlessly over the line." 

Theaterkrant over 'Karma'

"Self-deprecation is the main trump card of good-natured Rayen Panday. (…) Possibly the friendliest cabaret performer in the Netherlands."

Trouw over 'Karma'

“De charismatische Rayen Panday sluit gemakkelijk vriendschap met de zaal, is een grootmeester in publieksinteractie en levert al jaren komische shows van hoog en consistent niveau.”
