The Bushwick Starr, HERE Arts Center and Ma-Yi Theater Company Production of RHEOLOGY
In RHEOLOGY Obie Winner Shayok Misha Chowdhury joins forces with his physicist mother, Bulbul Chakraborty. Bulbul is obsessed with the physics of sand: how it flows like a liquid but then jams into a solid. Misha is obsessed with his mother. But they’re running out of time. In this boundary-pushing collaboration, mother and son challenge each other to a high-stakes experiment.
originally commissioned and developed by The Bushwick Starr and HERE Arts Center, and was originally co-produced by The Bushwick Starr, HERE Arts Center, and Ma-Yi Theater Company as part of their 2024-25 Season.
