Hello readers...
Welcome to my blog...
While studying ‘The Theatre of the Absurd’ and Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot’ in our Course, our professor discussed the film version of Beckett’s shortest play ‘Breath’ - thirty-seconds play and assigned us one of the most creative tasks to interpret this shortest play and shoot a small video.
So firstly we throw some light on this short Play:-
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 for all of us.The beginning part of script suggest birth, as the light inspires and grows. The end part suggests death as the light and the sound gradually decreases. But the setup is very rubbish, so it suggests that life is nothing but a rubbish stuff, spread hither and thither.
So, here i tried to make a short Breath video.
In this video I have used some mechanical tools. take this things because there is furnituring work continue at my home from few days. when sir start this topics Existentialism and absurdity I also feel like that why we do this things ? For better life? For better luxuries? what meaning to do such things? Because at that end we get nothing. It's make me to thinking about my life. What is the all things are going on? If I aware about all the things whhich I do. So I find that as the part of life we do effort for the Happy Life.
When electronic things and some other things get damaged we try to repair it for such machines as I used in my vidio. So I also feel that when we find some damaged in our life like some time we feel angry, we feel numb, we feel sad but like this one machines we try to repair our life. No matter which machines help us to repair our life because it might be thing or person get help us to do like that.
Just like that when things damaged we need to help of machines that type when in our life somethings get damaged we need to help if some persons or some things.
So I learnt one thing that some times we do repairing of our life and it is required for us.
First I think about this things in the different way. But yes I appreciate that there is no meaning and nothing in life. We are just try to living with own way.
For repairing purpose, I have a container full of mechanical tools like screws, nuts, bolts, wall-plugs, visors, rivets and many small articles.
in his play Breath one can see so many things scattered around and in the video , that is our life , we think that we are surrounded by so many things but what is the meaning of all this things? what is the purpose of living? why do we eat ? why do we sleep ? why do we cry ? why do we fall in love ? do we exist ? Does it leads us to meaninglessness of life .
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.
at the end all things are meaningless , a rubbish , garbage, don't get too much attached with anything , just go with the flow , enjoy each and very situation, weather good or bad , that is life, it is meaningless.
WHAT’S BEHIND THE SCENES?
See it's the mechanical tools. I don't know the proper name of all the things,which is I have used in my video. All the things you can find here. It's all needed for reparing and I learnt that one thing is that sometimes our life also need for reparing.
Here I would like to post one photo of the one tweet which is tweet by our professor Dilip Barad sir. And I must appreciate with that.
its seems that sorrows and sufferings are the out part of life just as happiness is . Both are required for life so it's depending on us how we handle this both things.
Thank you...🙏
