A PITTSBURGH THEATER ORIGINAL “ON THE ROX”
An original work written and choreographed by fireWALL’s own Elisa Alaio, On the Rox transports its audience back to yesteryear through the medium of dance. The unusual and challenging combination of history and dance seems natural under Elisa’s direction and the dramatic style of off the WALL’s new and dynamic fireWALL dance company. The cross-generational story of On the Rox begins in the late ’30′s in a New York city hotel bar and transitions from one decade to the next. On the Rox intertwines and masterfully expresses the extremes of life: heartache and joy, tragedy and renewal, the ugliness of mankind and the beauty of mankind.
