Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

While they do not arrive at any solid answers, the clues they do receive are terrifying. The coded message of the Club Silencio performance implies that the mission of discovering Rita's identity is itself a performance. Throughout the entire film, faces reappear and actors reprise, but in different roles. A subtle reappearance in this scene is actor Geno Silva. In this scene he plays the emcee, in an earlier scene with Adam Kesher he plays Cookie, the hotel manager. Just as Rita's waking from sleep in the middle of the night, speaking Spanish, Silva's introduction and the performance from La Llorona (a name Silva claims to have given the character) -- the presence of Spanish-language culture acts as a metonym for the story's deep, dark secrets.
