Interpretation of the play 'Breath' by Samuel Beckett





Breath is a notably short stage work by Samuel Beckett. An altered version was first include in Kenneth Tynan’s revue Oh! Calcutta!, at the Eden Theatre in New York city. Beckett, whose later plays are often extremely short, Breath is an unusually brief work. Its length can be estimated from Beckett’s detailed instruction in the script to be about 35 second. In the video we see the play in 30 second and, in another 30 second we see the name of the cast who help to make a play. In the video we see the butts of cigarette arrange in shape of the swastika. Which symbol of the Nazi party.

In 30 seconds video we see the life’s idea. In first video we see the many things like sound of the breathing, garbage, plastic, medicine, cigarette butts and the computer. We see the every thing dispersed all around. Camera moves to in dark to light and light to dark. Camera is a symbol of the darkness. We listen the background sound of the breathing. The sound like the person who suffering with difficulty in birthing. Because of the pollution. We see the thin of medical garbage that thing spread the Disease. The pollution create  the globalisation effect which harm the earth and the people . cigarette spread the pollution in the air. And it damage the people’s breathing system and lungs of the human being. Last is the medicine because after all this thing every human being’s suffer with the disease and from  the disease medicine help the human being to save life. Computer is the symbol of the modernism. Swastika used by the  Nazi party symbolize German nationalistic pride.

In  another video the picture is not clear but the background music is a baby crying. But I am not sure about this thing because we can’t see the baby in the video. Only listen sound of baby crying. But we see the light is increase and decrease. The video symbol of the darkness.
