In this custom adaptation of MARÍA DE BUENOS AIRES, the audience learns the history of tango through the story of María: from the rural country, she arrives in rough-and-tumble Buenos Aires.  Urban life affects and transforms her, until she is reborn, a sophisticated distillation of her former self.

Black lives matter. 

As an organization, ROK is striving to know better and do better. 

As artists, we hear, see, and lift up our siblings of color. 

And as human beings, we sing out that we must reimagine not only what our art form can be, but much more; what our society must be, locally, nationally, and globally.
