How to represent the sudden recognition (their eyes opened and they recognized him<\/i>) after the initial misrecognition (their eyes were unable to recognize him<\/i>)? How to hold together the presence and absence (but he disappeared from their sight<\/i>) that is already looming as the reality that will be the only one from here on?<\/p>\n

The scene portrayed is seemingly simple and bare, immersed largely in darkness.<\/p>\n

Christ appears in profile and in shadow, but he recoils as if in an effort to break bread. His figure is recognizable from the features of classical representations: he is the Risen One with a human face, but his physical presence lasts only an instant.<\/p>\n

The disciple in front makes the opposite movement, moving away in turn. He has a startled reaction, which the light exhibits without caution, showing his resigned appearance and unpleasant physiognomy. His surprise has none of the stereotypical features.<\/p>\n

The second disciple is barely visible. But one at least glimpses the fallen stool and his kneeling figure, thrown at Jesus\u2019 feet.<\/p>\n

The room in the background reveals a woman against the light, caught up in domestic work, yet leaning in the same direction as Christ; so too is her shadowy image.<\/p>\n

The poverty of the whole scene seems to refer back to birth: solemnity coexists with everydayness. It is the challenge to bring out the unbelievable in a familiar atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Most is suggested, because what is on stage is the unrepresentable. And you who observe, what else do you see?<\/p>\n
