  We study a particular class of representations from the fundamental groups of
punctured spheres $\Sigma_{0,n}$ to the group $\text{PSL} (2,\mathbb R)$ (and
their moduli spaces), that we call \emph{super-maximal}. Super-maximal
representations are shown to be \emph{totally non hyperbolic}, in the sense
that every simple closed curve is mapped to a non hyperbolic element. They are
also shown to be \emph{geometrizable} (appart from the reducible super-maximal
ones) in the following very strong sense : for any element of the Teichm\"uller
space $\mathcal T_{0,n}$, there is a unique holomorphic equivariant map with
values in the lower half-plane $\mathbb H^-$. In the relative character
variety, the components of super-maximal representations are shown to be
compact, and symplectomorphic (with respect to the Atiyah-Bott-Goldman
symplectic structure) to the complex projective space of dimension $n-3$
equipped with a certain multiple of the Fubiny-Study form that we compute
explicitly (this generalizes a result of Benedetto--Goldman for the sphere
minus four points). Those are the unique compact components in relative
character varieties of $\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb R)$. This latter fact will be
proved in a companion paper.
