Sravasti Datta explores the complexity of romantic relationships, as depicted in Shatarupa Bhattacharyya's latest Hindi play, "Silvatein," which is set to be performed at Ranga Shankara tonight. Shatarupa, a theatre artist with a decade of experience and involvement in about 20 productions, shares her insights on the creative process, discussing how theatre provides a platform to delve into relationships intellectually and emotionally. Through the cathartic nature of dramatization, she delves into the portrayal of characters and conflicts, drawing from personal experiences and interactions to bring these narratives to life. Reflecting on the impact of modern lifestyles on relationships, she highlights how the fast-paced nature of society can hinder emotional connections, leading to challenges in maintaining meaningful relationships amidst technological distractions and societal pressures.The energy required to solve problems is often lacking, leading people to walk away from or ignore them as a simpler alternative. The fast pace of modern life has created little space for meaningful emotional connections, causing relationships to be neglected as individuals constantly chase after tasks. Shatarupa's recent play draws inspiration from her own relationship experiences, where the struggles and unresolved thoughts played a significant role in its creation. Through her journey, she learned the importance of self-awareness and honest communication for personal well-being and healthy relationships. Understanding her emotions, triggers, and needs became fundamental in maintaining positive connections, as she acknowledged that unhealthy relationships stem from power dynamics. By reflecting on how her past shaped her reactions and embracing vulnerability, Shatarupa adopted a more patient and empathetic approach in her relationships, fostering personal growth and learning from mistakes.
