Award-winning playwright and director Shayok Misha Chowdhury will spend a week as an artist in residence at PEM, developing his new play RHEOLOGY. This work is a performance memoir created with Chowdhury’s mother, the physicist Bulbul Chakraborty. Her specialty is rheology, the laws governing the malleability and movement of matter under force.
Hear excerpts from the play, then participate in a short Q&A hosted by David Snider, PEM’s Director of Learning and Community Engagement. A light reception will follow.
RHEOLOGY will have its world premiere at the Bushwick Starr in Brooklyn in May 2025.
