Sravasti Datta explores the complexity of romantic relationships in her latest Hindi play, Silvatein, set to be performed at Ranga Shankara today. With a decade of experience in theater and involvement in various productions, including acting, directing, and production management, Shatarupa Bhattacharyya discusses how theater has provided her with a platform to intellectually and emotionally engage with relationship dynamics. She emphasizes that theater enables her to bring abstract concepts to life, facilitating both personal exploration and connection with audiences. By delving into the process of writing and presenting Silvatein, Shatarupa finds closure and initiates conversations that aim to inspire others. She points out how modern life's fast pace has hindered emotional connections, leading to increased stress and distraction. In her view, the expectation of effortless and constantly fulfilling relationships is unrealistic in today's society.The energy spent on solving problems is often abandoned nowadays, as it is seen as a more convenient option. The fast pace of modern life has made it difficult to form deep emotional connections, with relationships often taking a back seat. According to Shatarupa, unhealthy relationships are usually based on power and control. Her latest play was inspired by her own struggles in past relationships, prompting her to emphasize the importance of self-awareness and honest communication. Understanding her own emotions, triggers, and needs has not only benefited her personal well-being but has also helped in creating and maintaining healthy relationships. Reflecting on how her past experiences influenced her reactions has allowed Shatarupa to approach relationships with more patience and empathy, enabling her to embrace vulnerability and learn from mistakes.
