Beckett 's shortest Play - Breath

                'Breath - Interpretation Challenge :- ' 

Hello readers! This blog is a response to the  thinking activity on Samuel Beckett 's shortest Play - Breath : Interpretation Challenge, given by Dr.Dilip sir barad - Department of English, Bhavnagar University. This blog is a part of our thinking activity in which we have to do a Picturization of the Play and also interpret it in our own way. Samuel Beckett 's play - Breath is open for an interpretation.

At Present we are studying Samuel Beckett 's another Famous Play - 'waiting for Godot '. While discussing about Beckett 's famous works we came to know about his play - Breath which is one of the very shortest Play and it contains total thirty two seconds.

The script of the play:

CURTAIN Up

1. Faint light on stage littered with miscellaneous rubbish. Hold about five seconds.

2. Faint brief cry and immediately inspiration and slow increase of light together reaching maximum - together in about ten seconds. Silence and hold for about five seconds.

3. Expiration and slow decrease of light together reaching minimum together (light as in 1) in about ten seconds and immediately cry as before. Silence and hold about five seconds. 

CURTAIN Down 

 In this blog, I will try to do Picturization and Interpretation of the Play. 

    So Let's Start...

• My Picturization of the Play :- 

 • My Interpretation of the Play :- 

I used so many objects in my video. I used total three major sounds in my entire video. 

1. Heavy Breathing Sound 

2. Horror Sound 

3. Baby crying Sound

I Interpreted in Such a way that When we were in some Particular Field at that time all the things become very important, necessary and Essential for us. We think that Without this or that our work will not be done. But by the time we realised that It all became very out of use. We felt that what is the use of all this things now and Suddenly we found it very Meaningless. For Example, When I was in my B.Ed Program at that time I used to think like that The work we were Preparing and the Objects we were using was very essential. But, As the time Passes we felt that Now what is the use of all that things that we have used during that time?  Suddenly we found it totally meaningless exactly like our existence on this earth. Our Journey is only From birth to death. From Mother's womb to tomb. Between them all things we found is without any kind of  purpose, meaningless and nothingness. So The way we found the objects useless in a same way we also found our existence meaningless.

So, This is my Picturization and Interpretation of this Play. 

 I hope that this blog will be interesting for you..
