Click
by The Vortex

Jan. 09 - Jan. 25, 2020

One click, and the world changes. One click, and your life falls apart. One click, and you take back control.

The VORTEX presents the Regional Premiere of Click by Jacqueline Goldfinger, currently nominated for the 2020 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, the 2020 LAMBDA Literary Award, and the 2020 James Black Tait Memorial Prize.

A techno-thriller that begins when a young woman is raped at a fraternity and ends in a future where corporations promise a new body with the swipe of a screen, Click follows a hacktivist named Fresh who turns industrial espionage into high art. As this virtual Banksy takes over the global imagination, the man who stole her life develops a technology that sends the two of them on a collision course at the heart of the corporate empire, where innovation comes at any cost. A cyberpunk drama for the #metoo era, director Rudy Ramirez and a cast of Austin’s finest young actors unite to tell this story of trauma, transformation and reclaiming who you are.
