The Visit is a touching solo about growing older, loneliness and the search for meaningful connection. Performing remotely through a video call, The Visit hijacks the computer screen in order to invoke ghostly presences amidst the audience.

Playing with sound and silences, with lights, shadow and movement, this intimate and quiet performance suspends time with poetic reflections and personal anecdotes.

In a room with scattered traces of a party, the audience is welcomed through a laptop by an absent performer. After a short introduction, they are invited to switch off the lights, turn around their chairs and sit with their backs to the computer. For the rest of the performance they will listen in the dark, following texts, sound, lights and shadow as they travel through the room.

The Visit was developed within the ‘Vision with/out Image’ framework as Pablo Fontdevila's artistic project at the Master in Theater, Toneelacademie Maastricht.
