Farce in 1 Act
Relatives of extremely rich Mademoiselle Hortense have planned the funerals in meticulous details just in the way their social and financial status demands; every aspect of the ritual is premeditated and agreed upon. Everything will be as it should, nothing can interfere, not even if Saint Antoine himself comes down to this sinful world and raises the dead lady! What is human life compared to millions, stained carpets, redecoration of an exquisite house, crayfish in jelly and trout a la Schubert ? If Jesus Christ had come to this restrained and mendacious world would he be crucified again by humanity that demands a miracle but does not believe in one?
