The Contrabass

The Contrabass

Translated

The Contrabass sounds like the muted monologue of an unnoticed man. One instrument. One actor. Who is really playing whom — the man playing the instrument, or the instrument playing the man? The inner confession of a man left in the shadow of the system is ready to burst through accumulated silence. A one-act drama based on Patrick Süskind’s play (translated by Karlen Matinyan). Director: Vahan Badalyan Mono-performer: Vardan Arzumanyan Documentary photographer: Areg Balayan Duration: 1 hour Age recommendation: 16+
