Sravasti Datta explores the complexity of romantic relationships in her latest Hindi play, Silvatein, which is being presented at Ranga Shankara today. With 10 years of theatre experience and involvement in 20 productions, Shatarupa Bhattacharyya discusses her approach to scripting and her thoughts on contemporary relationships. She emphasizes how theatre provides a unique platform to delve into issues both intellectually and emotionally. By dramatizing these themes, she has found a cathartic process that allows for exploration and understanding. Shatarupa believes that amidst today's fast-paced lifestyle, emotional connections often take a back seat, leading to stress and diminished availability in relationships. She highlights the importance of investing time and effort in maintaining meaningful connections beyond the instant gratification culture.The energy expended in problem-solving has decreased, with many people choosing to walk away rather than confronting issues. The fast-paced lifestyle we lead leaves little opportunity for forming deep emotional bonds, as our focus is primarily on keeping up with our responsibilities. Shatarupa's recent theatrical production draws inspiration from her own struggles in relationships. Reflecting on her past failed relationships, she emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and effective communication in building healthy connections. By acknowledging how her past experiences influence her reactions, she has learned to approach relationships with patience and empathy, embracing vulnerability as a part of personal growth.
