The mapping class group of the complement of a Cantor set in the plane arises naturally in dynamics. To get informations about this "big mapping class group", we can look at its action on a Gromov hyperbolic space: the ray graph. In this talk, I will explain why this ray graph has infinite diameter and is Gromov-hyperbolic. I will then exhibit an element of the big MCG which has a loxodromic action on the ray graph, and explain why this element is useful to construct non trivial quasimorphisms on the group.
