The hero of Zuskind is a musician, in love with a young opera diva. His problem is that although he loves his double bass, he is desperate for his invisibility in the orchestra. Imprisoned alone in his music room, he is also identified by his instrument, and is distinguished, as somewhere in the movement between the two poles are looking and find themselves. Look for it paradoxically and comically. The play is a rich and varied soloist and double bass score, a man and tool. Valentin Ganev "whistles" this complex party with unexpected nuances and overtones.
