About the Show
A freedom seeker and an unlikely ally forge a bond that transcends borders in this thrilling hip-hop musical that uncovers a hidden chapter of American history—when thousands of enslaved people fled across the Rio Grande to freedom in Mexico. "Mexodus" is a two-person tour de force that blends live-looped music, storytelling, and raw theatricality.
Created by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson as a co-production with DC’s Mosaic Theater Company and Baltimore Center Stage, and following award-winning Off-Broadway runs, this “electrifying theatrical experience” (The New York Times) runs to the nation’s capital in Arena Stage’s Kreeger Theater.
