»A strange myth of our information society suggests that it’s suffcient to be informed in order to take part in society. But most of the information we gather is mediated non-verbally. Our first impression of people is not made through what they say but how they say it – in that we create relations through smell and not through Google. As a performer, I have this bizarre privilege of creating a setting of real experience/encounter instead of referring to some source of information. In The Visitor, I am in the image, I acknowledge the fact that through my pure presence I take part in creating any moment.«
– Katarina Schröter

The Visitor is a silent person in the form of the director herself who roams through the streets of three megacities. In doing so, she provokes random encounters with strangers. On occasions, the encounter takes only a brief moment; on others, she follows a person for days on end. The outcome is open: sometimes, she becomes an intruder, sometimes a friend, who shares the daily lives of her hosts.
What makes a relationship? What do we know about our counterparts? Due to the presence of the Visitor, the loneliness of certain persons becomes even more pronounced. As the intensity of their relationship increases, the boundaries between »I« and »others« is blurred.
