Mexodus

The path to freedom didn't only lead north.

Written by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson
Choreographed by Tony Thomas
Directed by David Mendizábal

MEXODUS is a 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.

Created by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, this electrifying two-person tour de force blends live-looped music, storytelling, and raw theatricality to follow a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally forging a bond that transcends borders.

Following its acclaimed Off-Broadway production, MEXODUS makes its Atlanta debut. Described as “an electrifying theatrical experience” (The New York Times) and “bursting with infectious, buoyant energy” (New York Theatre Guide), MEXODUS invites you to laugh, reflect, and rise to your feet – because history isn’t just something you learn. It’s something you feel.
