Part of Club Hancher
An alum comes home — with his creative partner — to share acoustic takes on songs from their new hip-hop musical and more.
Brian Quijada is a graduate of the University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts. He and Nygel D. Robinson have created Mexodus, a hip-hop remix highlighting Black and Brown unity and telling the story of the those who used the Underground Railroad to escape to Mexico rather than the northern United States. In this Club Hancher performance, Quijada and Robinson will play an acoustic concert that includes songs from this groundbreaking theatrical project.
“[When it comes to Quijada,] not since Lin-Manuel Miranda and John Leguizamo burst onto the scene has there been such an explosion of energy, comic verve, playful sexiness, raw emotion, and irresistible storytelling emanating from one man.” — Chicago Sun-Times
“Robinson's tenor holds just enough affection and edge … [grab] a first-row seat to Nygel Robinson's potential and poise.” — First Listen
