◆ "Breath" A thirty second play.
Samuel Barclay Beckett (13 April 1906 - 22 December 1989) was playwright, short story writer, Irish novelist, theatre director, poet and also literary translator. A resident of Paris for most of his adult life, he wrote in both English and French languages.
Beckett's work offers a black, tragicomic outlook, on human existence, often coupled with black comedy and gallow humor, and became increasingly minimalist in his later career. He is considered one of the last modernist writers, and one of the key figures in what Martin Esslin called the "Theatre of Absurd." Beckett was awarded the 1969 'Nobel Prize' in literature for his writing.

✍️ Breath means simply I called, an inhalation or exhalation of air from the lungs by human being and animals and any Ascogenous in the world. So, Beckett's breath is totally different from this breath. So, here four videos about that so, let's start with this...
So, thi video is very short only thirty seconds and how we understand it. In firs video given by Damien Hirst is I heard small baby's crying. And the second video may be someone who taking breath. And than third videos in so many things here and their, it's not on the proper place but, like dustbin. And it's use by us, means all human beings. So, in the last video is about 'Toywort''; may be it's starting (born) to ending ( die) game for us/ everyday life.
In this four videos related to the absurdity of life in my understanding because, here I see in this videos like, only thirty seconds (30 s.) short time, crying children, breathing by human being, Medicines/ wastage, Darkness etc. In Modern interpretation through the video, it speack a lot, like clouds, one tree, dolls and rumpy and many people running. One watch, book, paper wastage, and last video end with picture of water and it's voice. So, all this things are generally people use and it's everyday life style. But, with this lige I think Absurdity and meaninglessness. So, may be Beckett's this shortest play is deeper and meaningful for human being. Because, he wants to say life is nothing but, something. And it's always meaningless at the end. So, I think we born here for only breathing and always waiting for our death. So, it's my points of view about Breath, Absurd and existentialism.
●Absurd:-
Yes, philosophy is meaningless. When peopleborn and doing something during this time (birth & death), and at the end it is meaninglessness, life has no purpose at the end. Si, I think life is full of absurdity and meaninglessness.
●Existentialism:-
It requires people to tack responsibility for their own actions and shape their own destinies. Here, in this short play I find some meaning for existence and only one person crying in this both videos, so somehow he wants to sya that one person has own responsibility and who bas pan existence in this world. So, it's my own some view about this topic, because it's very deep questions for life and existance.
☺️ Thank you!!!☺️
