Zero to Infinity (performance)
A show by and with SUPERAMAS & Agata Maszkiewicz
In our scale, we are blind to the infinitesimally small world of the atoms and the immensely big one of the Universe. We are either too big or too small, utterly adapted to the specific physical conditions of our human existence. But what if we would stop for a moment and took the time to gaze at the sky, to taste the night and listen to it, to feel the space around us...
Zero to Infinity, with a meeting/performance in a garden, intends to put the human body, its scale and its perceptual system in the center of a relationships network and to taste the vertigo of our human condition…
Premiere : Festival PLAYTIME / Théâtre Jacques Tati, Amiens (F) then July 29, 2022 A la Motte Aubert- St Saturnin du Bois (F)
Zero to Infinity (performance)
Un spectacle de et avec SUPERAMAS & Agata Maszkiewicz
A notre échelle nous ne voyons rien du monde des atomes ni de celui des étoiles. Nous sommes trop petits ou trop grands, profondément adaptés à certaines conditions physiques d’existence. Mais si nous nous arrêtions un moment ? Si nous prenions le temps d’observer le ciel, de goûter la nuit, d’écouter, de sentir l’espace qui nous entoure... Par le biais d’une rencontre/spectacle nocturne dans un jardin, De Zéro à L’infini ambitionne de placer le corps humain, son échelle, ses organes perceptifs au centre d’un réseau de relations et de goûter au vertige de notre condition humaine.
Première : Festival PLAYTIME / Théâtre Jacques Tati, Amiens (80) puis le 29 juillet 2022 : A la Motte Aubert- St Saturnin du Bois (17)

(latest works)
As part of a long-running investigation into the causes of Muammar Gaddafi's death, political journalist Alexis Poulin has gathered the exceptional testimony of a former spy from the DGSE (France’s external intelligence agency). Posted in Tripoli from 2007 to 2011, he was a first-hand observer of the unscrupulous French role in the downfall of the Libyan dictator. His revelations shed new light on one of the best-kept secrets of the French Fifth Republic.... MORE

CHEKHOV
Fast & Furious
For six months Superamas worked with four youth groups in Amiens, Maubeuge, Reykjavik and Vienna. Starting from Chekhov's famous play “Uncle Vania”, young people were led to reflect and react on issues as diverse and personal as: What does it mean to succeed in life? What is happiness? What is sadness? What are the things you regret? What is love? Young people have seized these themes to express their doubts, anger and hopes at the beginning of the 21st century.
SUPERAMAS, on the other hand, has been impertinently and ironically focused on re-contextualising some of the situations taken from Uncle Vania that portray the aging members of the artistic collective... MORE

L'homme qui tua Mouammar Kadhafi
"...Superamas manages here to pack personal stories of the young performers into 4 acts according Chekhov´s play which are loosely connected to the events at Uncle Vanja´s country side estate. Several wastelands in which the youth is dancing nowadays are made visible without the piece becoming a tearjerker. Chekhov – Fast & Furious appeals by its bite, a sophisticated dramaturgy and the tortuous performance of the adult world by the members of Superamas..."

Der Standard (AT)
"...Eine provokante und brilliante Arbeit..."
Helmut Ploebst
Der Standard (AT)
"...Keine Frage, das Performancekollektiv Superamas zählt zu den Trendsettern der Performanceszene…Vive l´Armée! stellt die Frage nach dem Krieg gegen die Demokratie sehr eindringlich..."
Silvia Kargl
Kurier (AT)
"...Retournant comme une chaussette le discours des grandes puissances, l'art de la guerre des Superamas tient du situationnisme en détournant scénarios de films et paroles médiatiques pour dénoncer une politique spectacle qui emballe sa violence dans le papier de soie de ses bons sentiments..."
