This fall, get plugged into a live-looping hip-hop musical unlike anything you’ve seen before. Created and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson, and directed by David Mendizábal, MEXODUS makes its New York Premiere at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre.

You know the story of the Underground Railroad that ran North—but this show takes you on the path that ran South, revealing the untold journey of thousands who escaped slavery by crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico.

Called “thrilling” by The Washington Post and “genius in motion” by the San Francisco Chronicle, this groundbreaking theatrical experience follows a freedom seeker and an unlikely ally as they forge a remarkable bond that transcends borders.

Douglas, Artistic Director / Serge Seiden, Managing Director), Washington, DC.
