Johan Petit collects sentences. Sentences he hears at barbecues and family parties, at home and on the street, at the café and in the waiting room.
In O SUPERMAN, he weaves all these fragments together into a story about the power of the small gesture. It is a performance about love and trust and the art of stumbling.
For an hour and a half, Johan digs into his own memories. He tells with his characteristic humor about falling on the ice and ecological sniffing and knitting a sweater. It is about the beauty of failure and the need to keep believing that everything will always turn out fine, even if it doesn't feel that way for a moment.
Muzikanten Kato Van Ermen and Engel Peet provide the necessary musical rest in the wonderful chaos of Petit's head. Together they bring an ode to human resilience.
O SUPERMAN is a heartwarming narrative that makes you laugh at the small awkwardness of life.
