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. One commonality throughout the decades is the local bar where people find consolation and camaraderie. After all, there are few things in life that help build relationships more than a drink “On the Rox.” Ohoto by Heather Mull Performances: May 23-24, 29-31 at 8 PM; May 25 matinee at 3 PM fireWALL dance theater: Elisa-Marie Alaio, Maria Gardner,
