I will discuss recent rigidity results for maximal representations of fundamental groups of ball quotients on in\ finite dimensional symmetric spaces (joint with Duchesne and Lecureux) as well as surprising geometric properties of the more flexible maximal representations of fundamental groups of surfaces (joint with Burger).
