The Glass Proscenium

Across fractured realities, hidden institutions, haunted memories, and impossible worlds, the characters of The Glass Proscenium struggle to discover whether there is a self beyond the roles imposed by power, trauma, love, and desire, or whether life itself is nothing more than a performance on a transparent stage.An investigator uncovers the unsettling logic behind a commune. An opera singer flees across the Qinghai Plateau with a corpse in the boot of her car. A nameless girl wanders an impossible labyrinth in search of a missing dog. A privileged heir plots to destroy the world that created him. A lost cat leads a grieving daughter toward acceptance. A scorched coat bears witness to a teen's secret past. And in a perfectly ordered society, one observer chooses the chaos of being human.Seven interconnected stories offer quiet glimpses into memory, identity, and the lingering paradoxes of being human.
