Kean

Kean Department of Theatre presents "References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot"

Sunday, October 11, 2026 @ 2:00pm
Kean Stage - Bauer Boucher Theatre Center Union, NJ

References to Salvador Dalí Make Me Hot is an Obie Award-winning surrealist play by José Rivera that follows Gabriela, a lonely housewife in Barstow, California, awaiting her soldier-husband Benito’s return from the Gulf War in 1991. In the poetic fantasy world she creates as she drifts through her days in the Mojave desert, her housecat and a local coyote strike up a romance, while the celestial man-in-the-moon and her very real teenage neighbor Martín vie for her affection.
