The musical comedy's text, script, and scores are accompanied by more than one hundred previously unpublished sketches, pencil drawings, and watercolors, completed between 1958 and 1989. The artist-dilettante shows an admirable confidence and an expressive vivacity in his representations of women in stiletto heels, singers, jazz pianists, horses, and dromedaries. Conte's comedy depicts a group of jazz singers and dancers from Harlem who bring a new music and dance to Paris of the 1920s. An eclectic cast acts out the drama of this nocturnal world which includes the mysterious disappearance of the prima ballerina, Razmataz, and the rise of a new star."
