«El contrabajo» is the theatrical monologue by Patrick Süskind, published by Seix Barral in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
An orchestral double bassist reflects in a monologue, from a soundproofed room, on his instrument, his craft and his place in the world. The work combines social criticism, comedy and local color; through the passion and the condemnation that his double bass entails, it explores solitude, frustration and the paradoxes of a life encapsulated in music.
Work originally published in German as «Der Kontrabass» in 1981. This Spanish edition, translated by Pilar Giralt Gorina, belongs to the Biblioteca Formentor collection.
For readers of theatre and contemporary drama, and for those familiar with Patrick Süskind's narrative.
Patrick Süskind is a German writer and screenwriter, known best for his novel Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, first published in 1985.
