Climax is a horror film that pulls inspiration from queer ball culture. A group of dancers are interviewed as part of an audition for an international touring company. Think A Chorus Line, but far more invasive. The dancers are asked about their sexuality, their history of drug use, and why they dance. Soon they’re living and rehearsing together. They celebrate after a long rehearsal, but soon find out that the sangria they all enjoyed is laced with LSD.
