Johan Petit collects sentences. Sentences he hears at barbecues and family parties, at home and on the street, at the cafe and in the waiting room.
'O Superman' is about the small gesture, about love and trust. For an hour and a half, Johan digs into his memories. He talks about falling on the ice, ecological snutten, and knitting a sweater. About failing and still continuing to believe that everything will always turn out well—even if it doesn't turn out well.
Muzikanten Kato Van Ermen and Engel Peet provide musical rest in the chaos of Petit's head.
From the press:
“Uninhibited storyteller Johan Petit defends the art of positive tinkering in his theater solo.” (De Standaard)
“Petit gives you more the feeling that you are sitting in a cafe with a good friend than in a theater hall.” (VRT)
