'A sensational concert piece for juggler and double bass.' Midi Libre, France
Six years since his LIMF/bite03 appearance with juggling partner Jérôme Thomas, Martin Schwietzke returns with a brand new show, this time with musician, Michel Bismut. Full of mystery, joy and sensuality L’Ecume de l’Air combines object manipulation artistry with Bismut’s beautifully played original score – a mix of modern classical, jazz and warm Mediterranean sounds.
Creating an exquisite harmony of objects, space and music these two performers explore the intriguing relationship between sound and movement. It will engulf and enchant you. Martin Schwietzke is from Germany and a founder member of Les Apostrophés, a French-based company of circus-inspired artists. Tunisian-born Michel Bismut has played and recorded with many leading French and Spanish musicians.
Production: Compagnie Les Apostrophés
Presented in association with Barbican bite09
