Sravasti Datta explores the complex nature of romantic relationships in her latest Hindi play "Silvatein," staged at Ranga Shankara today. Theatre personality Shatarupa Bhattacharyya, with her extensive experience in theatre, discusses how theatre provides a platform to emotionally and intellectually examine relationships. Through her play, she delves into the modern challenges faced within relationships, emphasizing the importance of emotional connection in a fast-paced society driven by instant gratification and distractions. Shatarupa expresses how theatre has been instrumental in creating a dialogue that transcends mere facts and figures, aiming to inspire others through her work.The energy required to solve problems has diminished, with more people opting to walk away rather than face them. Our busy lifestyles have made it difficult to form deeper emotional connections, as our focus is on keeping up with the fast pace of life. Consequently, nurturing relationships has become a low priority. Shatarupa drew inspiration from her personal experiences with relationships for her latest play. She explains that the play was born from her own struggles in failed relationships, reflecting the internal turmoil and unresolved conversations she had faced. Through this process, Shatarupa realized the significance of self-awareness and effective communication in maintaining healthy relationships. She emphasizes that grasping her emotions, triggers, and needs is vital for both personal well-being and successful relationships. Unhealthy relationships thrive on power and control dynamics. Understanding how her past experiences and assumptions influenced her reactions allowed Shatarupa to approach relationships with greater understanding, patience, and empathy. She embraced growth, accepted vulnerability, and acknowledged the value of learning from mistakes in fostering healthy connections.
