Breath : play by Samuel Beckett :-

During our study of ‘The Theatre of the Absurd’ and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, our professor introduced us to the film adaptation of Beckett’s shortest play, Breath—a brief, thirty-second performance. As part of our coursework, we were given a creative assignment to interpret this play and produce a short video.

So, here i tried to make a short Breath video. 

"Breath" play by Sagar Bokadiya 

In my video, I filmed open spaces where people discard plastic and other waste.

This is a place that comes between me and the department. But before I did this activity, how many types of garbage are there? What kind of different smells are there? I was unaware of many such things.

When sir introduced topics like existentialism and absurdity, it made me question our actions—why do we do these things? Is it for a better life? For luxury? In the end, what do we truly gain? It makes me reflect on my own life and wonder about the meaning behind it all. But if I am aware of my actions, I realize that it’s simply a part of life—we all strive for happiness.

Thank You!!!
