Born as Lew Abramovich Nussimbaum in 1905 and grewing up in Baku, Essad Bey was an Azerbaijani patriot, a dreamed oil prince, a Russian Jew who had fled from the Bolsheviks and the Nazis, a Muslim convert, a Mussolini fan and a German star author.

In the footsteps of this mysterious and legendary figure the "Disorientalists" Yuriy Gurzhy, Daniel Kahn and Marina Frenk rock through the abysses of a bizarre life. A biographical revue, produced for and played in the studioЯ of the Gorki Theater Berlin, now finally on CD.
