Menagerie (United Kingdom) by Lingyi Cong
3m 53s
In a speculative future where the roles of humans and animals are reversed, the protagonist exists within a controlled, zoo-like environment, performing under constant observation. As animals in the present world grow numb to the human gaze and technology further distances humans from direct interaction with non-human life, this piece envisions a reality where captivity and surveillance reshape existence. Through surreal performances, it challenges the audience to confront the power dynamics of observation, the marginalization of animals, and the shifting boundaries between species, ultimately urging a reevaluation of humanity’s relationship with the animal world.
