Eugène Ionesco: “Critics, you live off me!”. “Rather than the schoolmaster, the critic must be the student of the work.” “Le Piéton de l'air is a failed work, a incredible dismal jumble from which the wind of the final explosion cannot sweep away the embarrassment and boredom.

A problem that no cable is strong enough to lift” The play, staged at the Théâtre de l’Odéon in Paris, did not receive a good reception from critics.
