Little Lazarus prepares to join a traveling troupe of actors.
Facing the mirror, he dreams of the characters he will play throughout his future career.
French actor Denis Lavant, standing alone in a recording studio, reads this text by Marguerite Yourcenar,
conjuring in his hushed voice the images of Lazare's dreams.
Le petit Lazare se prépare à rejoindre une troupe de comédiens itinérants.
Face au miroir, il rêve des personnages qu'il incarnera tout au long de sa future carrière.
Seul dans un studio d'enregistrement, l'acteur Denis Lavant lit ce texte de Marguerite Yourcenar,
faisant naître de sa voix feutrée les images du songe de Lazare.
