• The Play 'Breath'

CURTAIN Up

1. Faint light on stage littered with miscellaneous rubbish. Hold about five seconds.
2. Faint brief cry and immediately inspiration and slow increase of light together reaching maximum - together in about ten seconds. Silence and hold for about five seconds.
3. Expiration and slow decrease of light together reaching minimum together (light as in 1) in about ten seconds and immediately cry as before. Silence and hold about five seconds.

My views on videos of the play:
1. Breath by Damien Hirst :-
This video shows the picture of rubbish kind of medical garbage. There is a keyboard also. We also can see the symbol of Swastik. this symbol we can recall remember Hitler and his symbol of Swastik. Another thing is that with a lot of medicine. it is full of absurdity or garbage it related somewhere with our life.

 2.  Breath by Lina De Jordan :-
this video shows the different fruits.we can compare this fruits with human being As all fruits,have their own identity,some are jointed and some are separated,same the way, human beings have their own world.some are living together and some are seperated.All the fruits have their specific benefits,and people also their unique personality.
 3.National Theatre school first year Technical production class project, production of Samuel Beckett's play Breath :-
in this video we can see full of darkness and one sharpen yelling of someone's voice.with a one hearness of voice become us afraid with this voice.
in this video we can see first darkness and then light. and also we can see the concept of light and darkness we can compare it with our happiness and death.

It is split like a second. It hinges around itself. It has no future. It is pinned down to no past. It’s a pun on the present. It’s a little yellow butterfly. It has taken these wretched hills under its wings. Just a pinch of yellow, it opens before it closes and closes before it o where is it. When I was in B.A I studied various poems. For example The Butterfly which was written by  Arun Kolatkar, an Indian poet wrote about the place- Jejuri, a temple town. Jejuri is a poor place and the hills in Jejuri show the barrenness of the place. His style is simple (English) in contrast with Mahapatra where he uses English and his ideas very effectively. Whatever he sees in Jejury they have a story of their own. The poet says there is no story behind the butterfly, the very being he gets
