Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:00 La Casa hosts “El Cafecito” a chance for people to get together and converse in Spanish at all levels. Participants talk about their own lives and current events. We usually bake bread and pastries for our guests and coffee and tea are also served. Added to the tradition of Cafecito, Spanish language board games such as Scrabble and Boggle are played.

The figure of the freak as perceived by the Western gaze has always been a part of the Latin American imaginary, from the letters that Columbus wrote about his encounters with dog-faced people to Shakespeare's Caliban. The freak acquires greater significance in a globalized, neoliberal world that defines the "abnormal" as one who does not conform mentally, physically, or emotionally and is unable or unwilling to follow the economic and cultural norms of the institutions in power. Freak Performances examines the continuing effects of colonialism on modern Latin American identities, with a particular focus on the way it has constructed the body of the other through performance.
