Both artists bring a unique perspective and remind us that despite different skin tones, we can work in solidarity to make beautiful music…Once the musical’s ferocity is set in motion, there’s no going back.

What Berkeley Rep’s Associate Artistic Director David Mendizábal harnesses within his tightrope-walking direction is informed by the two talents who call the stage home…Both artists prove that, when done right, nothing compares to listening to live storytelling with a raucous audience. Robinson and Quijada layer so many musical influences, one instrument at a time, is to witness genius in motion. Both artists bring a unique perspective and remind us that despite different skin tones, we can work in solidarity to make beautiful music…Once the musical’s ferocity is set in motion, there’s no going back. History meets hip-hop in an electrifying live-looping musical, composed in real-time. Mexodus explores the often-untold stories of the Underground Railroad that led south into Mexico. Don’t miss this groundbreaking, theatrical experience of resilience and resistance, celebrating the power of Black and Brown solidarity.
