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.
