Press reviews
“About an hour has passed since the first story began, and the listeners have been drawn ever deeper into this world of eerie, offbeat tales and unheard-of sounds. At the boundary between lines and dream, anything now seems possible – including the story of an ancient widow who finally wants to die. But when she catches sight of Death, in the form of a skeletal man, he wants nothing to do with her. Accompanying this are sounds as though a skeleton were playing a xylophone on its own ribs. After Roman Weishaupt and Roland Bucher bid farewell to their astonished listeners, it dawns on one: dream and reality are sometimes one and the same.” Jérôme Stern, Zürichsee-Zeitung Bezirk Meilen, February 2013
