“The Glass Menagerie” is a 3D animation that muses on the notion of “humanity on display” in a world that is increasingly polarized and fractured. Rather than a typical collection of animals, this allegorical menagerie exhibits the captivity of human creatures, both at home and at odds with their environment; inhabitants, consumers and products of their own desires and imaginative constructs.
