Since down the ages no one ever thought of writing such small
of just 30 to 32 seconds but Samuel Beckett was the first one to do it. And till
today no one else could challenge him in this sphere. The name of his shortest
play is “Breath”.
When we watch the
play, most would feel like what ‘rubbish’ is this and what to interpretate from
this? But there is much to interpretate from this rubbish also. In the play we cannot
find any settings or any character but only we can hear is the inhalation and
expiration of breath. Everyday we inhale and exhale while breathing but we don’t
try to see the possible interpretation of it as Samuel Beckett does. Though the
video shows garbage along with the sound of breathing, it shows that there are
both happy and bad times. Inhalation of fresh air signifies happy times and
exhalation of air signifies bad times. We should try to find happy times for us
in the midst of garbage also because happiness doesn’t always comes with a bed
full of roses, it also comes with the most dejected things and times of our
life. It is only us whether we want to see beyond the spectacle of the society rather
than finding happiness in utter depravity also. Not only in life but in our
surroundings also there is garbage like- in Politics there is lot of garbage, we
the literate people keep on saying that- what a rubbish the Politics is
becoming day by day and if we are asked to register our name for the next
election than we would step aback saying that who would step in the pit hole
knowingly? This is just exhalation trying to find a way of inhalation from the
garbage. Society is twirling in the garbage everyday, it’s our own wish whether
to twirl with it or not.
