Sravasti Datta explores the intricate nature of romantic relationships in her latest Hindi play, Silvatein, which is set to be performed at Ranga Shankara today. The play, translated by Puneet Gupta, is the creation of theatre personality Shatarupa Bhattacharyya, who boasts a decade of experience in theatre, having worked in over 20 productions as an actor, director, and production manager. While actively engaging with various theatre groups in Bengaluru, Shatarupa discusses her creative process in crafting plays and delves into the complexities of modern relationships. She emphasizes how theatre provides her with a platform for intellectual and emotional exploration. Through the cathartic experience of bringing abstract ideas to life on stage, she unravels the dynamics of relationships, weaving together her thoughts, emotions, and shared experiences to develop authentic characters and compelling narratives. For Shatarupa, the journey of writing, directing, and witnessing Silvatein unfold has been a profound one, offering closure and igniting meaningful conversations that she hopes will resonate with others. Highlighting the impact of fast-paced lifestyles on emotional connections, she points out how stress and technological distractions have hindered the depth and authenticity of relationships, leading to a prevalent belief in instant gratification and effortless fulfillment. Shatarupa stresses the importance of investing time and effort in nurturing genuine emotional bonds amidst the demands of modern living.The energy required to solve problems is often overlooked nowadays, with many people opting to simply walk away. The fast pace of modern life leaves little time for meaningful emotional connections, pushing relationships to the bottom of our priorities. Shatarupa's latest play draws inspiration from her personal struggles in relationships. Reflecting on her own failed experiences, she emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and honest communication in building healthy relationships. By understanding her emotions and past influences, Shatarupa has learned to approach relationships with patience and empathy, embracing vulnerability as part of personal growth.
