Magical realism and surrealism exist comfortably side by side, just like the copulating cat and coyote, in Moxie Theatre's just-opened "References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot." Directed with an eye for fantasy and an ear for poetry by Dana I. Harrel,Cheap Bees Costumes Jose Rivera's play mixes the real, the fantastical and a subconscious dreamscape in a mélange that entertains despite the script's flaws.
Actor Jorge Rodriguez does his best work in San Diego to date as the flawed but earnest and uncomplicated Army sergeant Benito, a Gulf War vet stationed in the California desert. His honest, heartfelt performance grounds the story in reality, while Harrel's playful,Sexy Pirate Costumes imaginative direction gives the story the floaty liftoff that it needs.
Set in Barstow in the early 1990s, the play is focused on Gabriela,Sexy Nurse Costumes Benito's unhappy wife of 11 years.Sexy Indian Costumes Lopez's script doesn't clearly articulate Gabriela's needs and she's not written as a very likable character, but Moxie newcomer Jacqueline Grace Lopez gives her sweet sincerity, radiance and an unquenchable yearning.
Isolated from family and friends, with visits home from her husband only every two months, Gabriela is lonely, bored and sexually frustrated, and she craves the intellectual and cultural stimulation that Benito cannot give her. So instead, she escapes into a dream world where she can philosophize and do the tango with the Moon. Gabriela is a much stronger woman in her subconscious. She flirts with Martine, the voyeuristic 14-year-old boy next door, and she dominates Benito, both emotionally and sexually.thong bikini
