Hello Readers !
Welcome to my blog. This is my academic writing activity. Welcome to my blog. This is my academic writing activity. So the task is to interpret a play Breath by Samuel Beckett.we are discussing Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and absurd theatre. It was an interpretation challenge by the professor. Know more about this task visit sir's blog. (click here)
✍️ Breath : play by Samuel Beckett :
It was a short play of thirty two seconds.
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
Samuel Beckett wrote a short play of 32 seconds. It was a shock to see 32 seconds. There is no character , not a single dialogue, or not any movement, just breathing and a different type of light. It was interesting to interpret the play . Also it was a challenging task.
Various versions of the play are available here. First of all I am interpreting a play Breath by Damien Hirst.

In this play we can see the miscellaneous rubbish of medical things. And throughout the whole video, there are so many things shown like medicine, computer, bottles and many more; lying as garbage which all are related to human life, and used by people in day to day life. But what was the meaning to show that madical garbage? Beckett did not include any type of garbage , he was writing only two words " miscellaneous rubbish".
So there is a question of how we can interpret the medical garbage. So here are many views regarding this video. I'm a way medicine gives us a life but life is nothing more it's a form of absurdity. Here we can see the nothingness of life. The sound of inhaling the sound of breath is there. Here it seems like life is nothing more than just breathing in and out. Nothing is important, that is all absurdity.
