Deftly and confidently directed by Gigi Guizado, this surrealist drama employs magical realism to convey a story that plunges and rises repeatedly through the sacred and profane, from gilded, poetic idealism to the desultory realm of the gutter, rising and descending through every level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

Saw this last night! Highly recommended! The performances are sensitive and sensual. I really loved the magical realism and the passion expressed in the dialogue! So many insights into love, life, and change. See it for yourself!

I had the pleasure of watching this gripping story last night. I had listened in to a reading nearly a year ago and couldn’t quite visualize it. Love and praise to Gigi Guizado for seeing the initial vision and directing an aesthetically stunning, heartfelt and mesmerizing production of References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot. Gigi truly nurtured every blade of grass in this production and it shows.

I want to speak about two elements of this play that appealed to me. The first is Agustin Ballesteros-Martinez and Arturo Hernandez’ portrayal of the Moon. One wears a white hat, the other a black hat, a simple, lovely costuming choice. They often are seated facing in opposite directions, as would befit the light and dark sides of the moon. Ballesteros-Martinez expresses all the language of the Moon while Hernandez, on his violin, expresses all the music. Their conjoined performance is a marvelous evocation of the duality and reflectiveness inherent in the play.

And let’s talk about sex, that animal instinct that drives us and often drives us to distraction due to its promise of transcendence. Clay and Guardado engage in urgent, self-effacing, transformative coupling onstage that moves beyond titillating display and reminds us of those intimate occasions when we wanted nothing more than more of what we are experiencing right now and the desire that it would continue forever.

Treat yourself! I guarantee you won’t experience another production like this for years to come. Magic on a proscenium!
