With ten years of experience in theatre and various roles such as actor, director, and production manager, Shatarupa shares her insights on crafting plays, her theatrical journey, and her views on modern relationships. Theatre serves as a platform for her to delve into issues intellectually and emotionally. Shatarupa explains how theatre has helped her explore relationships on a deeper level, offering a unique space for abstract ideas to come to life. Through the cathartic process of dramatization, she has found healing and empowerment, leading to meaningful conversations and reflections. In a world where fast-paced lifestyles hinder emotional connections, Shatarupa emphasizes the importance of investing time and effort in nurturing relationships amidst the distractions of technology and the culture of instant gratification.The trend now is to avoid addressing problems and simply walking away from them. The fast pace of modern life has made it difficult to establish meaningful emotional connections. Instead of prioritizing relationships, we are constantly preoccupied with keeping up with our hectic schedules. According to Shatarupa, unhealthy relationships are typically characterized by power struggles and a need for control. Her latest play is inspired by her own experiences with failed relationships, where she realized the importance of self-awareness and honest communication. Shatarupa has come to understand that being in touch with her emotions, triggers, and needs is essential for personal well-being and nurturing healthy relationships. She acknowledges that unhealthy relationships are often rooted in power dynamics and control issues. By recognizing how her past experiences and assumptions influenced her reactions, Shatarupa has learned to approach relationships with more patience and empathy. She now embraces growth, accepts vulnerability, and is open to learning from her mistakes.
