The Regional Premiere of References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot by José Rivera Directed by Michelle Claire Romeo Coming late 2010 / Early 2011 Strange things happen in a moonlit backyard on the edge of the California desert. The cat talks with a dangerously seductive coyote and the moon plays his violin for a lonely woman awaiting her husband's return from the war in Iraq. When he arrives, broken and distant, the reality of their relationship seems as strange as the apparitions in the desert night. Jose Rivera, a contemporary master of magical realism and the painful and gritty realities of human relationships, has created a suddenly relevant play that explores the scars of war, both on those who fight it and those who get left behind.
