Program Notes

“Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone.” These are divine words to Rachel, a precocious yet sheltered girl living with her Mormon fundamentalist family. On her fifteenth birthday, she stumbles upon a cassette tape blasting rock ‘n’ roll. Three months later, Rachel is pregnant by what she claims to be immaculate conception. Running away to Las Vegas to find that otherworldly voice from the tape, Rachel is transfixed and transformed. Featuring eye-popping cinematography and a heady rock soundtrack, ELECTRICK CHILDREN evokes the first rumblings of adulthood with exhilarating precision.
