La risurrezione di Lazzaro - The Resurrection of Lazarus
(synopsis by Anthony Kamel)

The narrator arrives and asks if he is in the right cemetery to witness the miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus. The guardian of the cemetery tells him that he is in the right place, but he also tells him that he has to pay ten soldi to enter and assist in the miracle. The narrator gets mad and the guardian of the cemetery tells him that he can pay two soldi instead: he has to pay for the ticket seeing as there will be a lot of people that will ruin the cemetery and for this reason he needs some money to be compensated for the annoyance. The narrator pays the two soldi and enters. The guardian tells the others that they have to pay and that their age does not matter: the miracle cannot be seen for free.

The narrator recalls the last time he went to see another miracle, but that time he couldn t see anything because he was too far away. For this he now looks for the tomb of Lazarus. He knows the name of the one for which the miracle is being performed but he is illiterate so he can t read it. He tries
to get in front of everyone; it does not matter to him if the little ones can t see in front of him, they should have gotten there early like he did! The women also begin to arrive and they want to be the first ones in line. Later, all the spectators” are in the cemetery but Jesus has not yet arrived and the people are upset.

The narrator asks the crowd if anyone knows Jesus so that he can go find him and tell him that he is late. After the guardian begins to sell chairs saying that he doesn t want the women to get scared when they see Lazarus come back to life and fall to the ground and hurt themselves. As for miracles, Jesus can only do one at a time. Meanwhile, the guardian sells sardines to make more money. Finally, the people see a group of people approaching. Is that Jesus or not?”--everyone asks himself. Jesus arrives with his apostles and his mother, all of his family members.

And here, Jesus proceeds to remove the stone from the tomb, and the spectators sense a terrible odor coming out of Lazarus tomb. Did someone lie? They told Jesus that it had been only three days since Lazarus died but it seems like it has been a month judging by that stench! The narrator comments that Jesus may not be able to carry out the miracle. The spectators begin to make bets between who believes that Jesus will succeed in reviving Lazarus and who doubts it. But Jesus succeeds in doing the miracle and Lazarus is revived. Everyone admires Jesus skill but in the final confusion, a woman s purse is stolen. The purse contained the money from the bet.
