Martha!tentatief / Johan Petit - O Superman

In O Superman, Johan Petit dives into his memories and brings a stream of stories about small gestures, love, and trust. He tells about falling on the ice, about blowing your nose ecologically, and about knitting a sweater. About failing and still continuing to believe that everything will turn out fine, even when that is not the case. With a warm, recognizable gaze, Johan Petit weaves loose thoughts and observations into an intimate and comforting performance. Muzikanten Kato Van Ermen and Engel Peet provide resting points and let music flow softly into the chaos of his head. Johan Petit is a Flemish actor, theater maker, and one of the driving forces behind the Antwerp theater collective MartHa!tentatief. He is known for his very personal, narrative style, in which he brings stories that are often rooted in popular reality with a lot of humor and humanity. Johan Petit collects sentences. He hears them at barbecues and family parties, at home and on the street, at the café, and in the waiting room. He takes those words with him, keeps them, and gives them a new place on the stage.
