Interpretation challenge of Samuel Beckett's Play -Breathe

-
                 Recently we watched 'Breathe' the shortest play by Samuel Beckett, to understand the concept of the theatre of absurd. When we watched these types of absurd play we feel that nothing happens on the stage but there is always something behind nothing. Nothing happens without purpose. Even our existence on the earth is for some reason.


                  In the starting we hear the sound of Breathe that is connected with life and the birth is symbol of light. Play moves on darkness to light and light to darkness that also has connection with life and death. In the play we saw some rubbish kind of garbage that is lying everywhere. That comes after light it shows that when we are in darkness we cannot see the actual thing that is there in the light. And at some level we feel that our existence is also connected with nothingness. That throughout the life we do nothing just produce dirt around us. In the darkness of the mind we create thought pollution and in the light we play with so many things like relation, emotions, feelings, that gives a spot on one's character. So in this way we can say that man is craving to get something but he gets nothing in the end. And throughout the life he roaming between this something and nothing.

Modern Interpretation :-

                    Modern interpretation of the play Breathe that we find in the video that it starts with dusk and then moves on with dawn and later it ends with dusk. It shows cycle of life, then death and aging rebirth. In the video we find so many symobls that has some connection with life of humans. It starts with toys that shows our childhood then books that indicates our life as students, struggls of people to achieve their goals,then money and passbooks that has connection with our status, then camera moves on watch that in between we Forget to live and time passes like a send. And at last bottle of medicine and sunset shows our old age. Then again dusk flash In the play it darken the light and turns it into a night. We find That something ends it is light that is ended or it may be life of someone that is ended.

While many cultures have developed forms that provoke this paradoxical response, the term tragedy often refers to a specific tradition of drama that has played a unique and important role historically in the self-definition of Western civilisation.That tradition has been multiple and discontinuous,yet the term has often been used to invoke a powerful effect of cultural identity and historical continuity - "The Greeks and the Elizabethans, in one cultural form;Hellens and Christians, in a common activity."
