« Un concert acoustique pour balles et contrebasse,
une conversation imaginaire entre un jongleur et un musicien,
la mémoire ancestrale de l'alliance du mouvement et du son.
Dans la simplicité de leur rencontre, deux instrumentistes de taille vous
invitent à un voyage complice. »
- Martin Schwietzke
"L'écume de l'air, the latest creation of the troop “les Apostrophés”, is built
like a concert - for juggler and double bass player. (...)
When the darkness settles in, the scarlet and vaporous whiteness of an immense
mosquito net radiates. The thumping of the double bass’s soul sets a musical
atmosphere that absorbs your attention. (...) The two artists will never seek

Martin Schweitzke controls the grapefruit balls in such a manner that they seem as
well canon balls as soap bubbles. Add its gestural grace and the hypnosis acts
immediately. (...) Michel Bismut makes his double bass resound to fill the heavy
atmospheres with thunder rumbles like whispers of zephyr. An additional dream
sensation to fight against gravity. »
