A hidden chapter of Black and Mexican history, unbound by time. Some stories are buried. This one breaks free.
In Mascogos (Mahs-KO-gohs), playwright Miranda González embraces her Mexican and African American roots to explore the untold stories of Mexico’s Underground Railroad. This bold sci-fi drama delves into the true history of runaway enslaved people from Florida and Georgia who escaped to freedom in Múzquiz, Coahuila.
Eighteen-year-old Jamari is fighting an unknown illness that takes him through worlds he’s never seen before, time-traveling from 1864 Mexico to today’s West Side of Chicago. Unsure of where he belongs, trapped in a historical cycle, Jamari and his loved ones seek answers as they try to break free from the shackles of time.
