Studebaker Theater, Fine Arts Building, 410 S. Michigan Ave. · Loop
Did you know the Underground Railroad also ran south? Mexodus brings that lesser-told history to the stage through the story of a man escaping slavery and the Mexican farmer who helps him.
Creators and performers Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson build the hip-hop score live before your eyes, layering instruments, beats and vocals through looping. Two performers become an entire band as a story of survival unfolds into one of friendship and Black–Mexican solidarity.
Catch the Chicago premiere at the Studebaker Theater, November 7–21.
