A Berkeley Repertory Theatre docent talk about the musical Mexodus will cover the musical's production and its historical inspiration: the often untold stories of the Underground Railroad that led south into Mexico. Attendees do not need to have seen the musical in order to enjoy the talk and group discussion.

History meets hip-hop in Mexodus, an electrifying live-looping musical, composed in real-time by multi-talented writer/performers Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson. This is a groundbreaking, theatrical experience of resilience and resistance, celebrating the power of Black and Brown solidarity.

Mexodus is written and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson and is directed by Berkeley Rep's Associate Director David Mendizábal who also directed the production of Mexodus for Mosaic Theater Company in Washington, D.C. Mexodus will run at Berkeley Rep from September 13th through October 20th.
