Sravasti Datta, a theatre personality, explores the complexities of romantic relationships in her latest Hindi play, Silvatein, which will be performed at Ranga Shankara. The play, translated by Puneet Gupta, reflects Datta's decade-long theatre experience and her roles as an actor, director, and production manager. Datta discusses how theatre provides a unique space for exploring relationships intellectually and emotionally, allowing abstract ideas to come to life in a powerful way. Through the process of writing and staging Silvatein, she has found healing, empowerment, and closure. Datta highlights how modern life's fast pace often hinders emotional connections in relationships, leading to stress and distractions. She emphasizes the importance of investing time and effort in building meaningful relationships beyond instant gratification.Finding the energy to tackle problems can be challenging. It's tempting to avoid them altogether, but in today's fast-paced world, meaningful emotional connections often take a backseat. Shatarupa's recent play draws inspiration from her own relationship struggles, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and open communication. She has come to understand that nurturing healthy relationships requires understanding one's own emotions and needs. By learning from past experiences and staying patient and empathetic, she has grown and embraced vulnerability.
