                                                    Breath

                   This is the short stage play of 30 second by Samuel Beckett which first premiered in Eden Theater on June 16, 1996. This is very short but significant play which is very difficult that to say many things in brief like to write poem is very difficult because we need necessary words to adjust it but in essay or novel we can write long.

              In this video by Damien Hirst, on one side we find rubbish things or nothingness in video but when we minutely see that its full of deep meanings about life that sound of inhale and exhale and cry of child in setting of place full of garbage. Similarly in the world there is nothingness and meaninglessness from birth to death yet we are searching something in form of success, fame, moksh but everything is meaningless like garbage of the medical things and technical which the sign of modern times or perhaps suggests the destruction after WWII like shown in Waiting For Godot which is absolutely meaningless event which resulted into nothingness and arise the question of Existence. Through the cry of the child ,we can assume that sufferings or pain is part of life from birth to doom.

‘Suffering is not enemy, it is my call to greatness’
