MEXODUS
Written and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel Robinson

April 28-29, 2023

“Mexodus,” written and performed by Chicago native Brian Quijada and Chicago transplant Nygel Robinson, was inspired by the estimated 4,000 to 10,000 enslaved people in the southern United States who found new lives in Mexico instead of moving North. This lesser-known chapter of the Underground Railroad is an exploration of Black and brown bodies standing together against oppression. Shows are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 28 and Saturday, April 29.
