In this work, the authors talk about a step taken to eliminate the social inequality between people, albeit imaginary. The play of the same name, included in the current repertoire of the Young Spectators' Theater, was based on this idea.

Inspector Poprishen, unknown to anyone, decides to marry the daughter of his boss, who is far superior to him, in order to eliminate social injustice. In his imaginary world, he becomes the king of Spain, ruling the world, a luminous personality.

Poprishen hears the voice of his mother, who passed away a long time ago. But even this voice cannot save the soul of a sick being. Because the people of this world where he lives do not hear his voice.

The authors want to say that although there is no legal equality between people, it is important to expect humanistic equality and support each other.

The owner of great talent, the laureate of a number of festivals of the world, a skilled soloist, Honored artist Shovgi Huseynov describes the entire psychophysiological reality of Poprishen with realistic lines of embodiment. "Notes of a madman, or sonata for piano and cello" is precisely why it has been in the current repertoire as a favorite performance of the audience for 30 years.
