Mexodus

Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson blend Hip-Hop and history to tell a unique story about the Underground Railroad that led south into Mexico, highlighting the power of Black and Brown unity. A groundbreaking, theatrical experience, Mexodus is a live-looped musical, composed in real time, that explores the often-untold stories of enslaved people in the United States who sought freedom in Mexico.

A workshop of Mexodus was presented by New York Stage and Film, Summer 2021. Mexodus was developed in part at Rhinebeck Writers Retreat.
