Ga mee naar de wonderlijke wereld van Maya en haar vriendjes in deze nieuwe, hartverwarmende familieshow.Emilie houdt van de natuur. Met haar eigen handen bouwt ze een insectenhotel in haar tuinhuisje en droomt ze ervan dat Maya ooit bij haar op bezoek komt. Wanneer ze in slaap valt, gebeurt er iets bijzonders: haar kleine tuinhuisje verandert langzaam in een levendige insectenwereld vol bloemen, bladeren en vrolijk gezoem.

How do you get a grip on your past, how do you get a grip on love? How do you get a grip on a world that is murky and where boundaries are vague? Making the right decision, managing the situation, keeping yourself in check; it seems harder than ever. Before you know it, you step over something or bump into something. Perhaps it is better to let go as much as possible. After all, too much grip isn't good either. But how do you do that, and what do you let go of? What is important enough to hold on to? The answer to all these questions and more: you won't get it during the performance. Or well, maybe a little bit. What you do get, in any case, is Grip: a performance that doesn't let go easily.
