While we ambitiously and dedicatedly strive for the ideal of a top professional, an unexpected encounter with the Best One harshly pushes us to confront the fact that we will never reach it. What we don't know is that he himself is in the nightmare of his own realization that he can always do better, and that no matter how close we approach the top, it is always one step away. Is there an absolute perfection? What is its price? Is it possible to reach it without losing ourselves in the attempt? Interweaving the story of the legendary pianist Glenn Gould with the famous rivalry between Mozart and Salieri, the play raises eternal questions about art, envy, perfection, but also about (not) coming to terms with one's own limits.
