Discover Bruce LaBruce’s reimagining of Pasolini’s Teorema!
London, today.
A refugee washes up naked in a suitcase on the bank of the Thames. The enigmatic, sexually fluid stranger introduces himself to a bourgeois, upper class family. He is invited to stay on as an employee. The Visitor soon seduces each member of the family in a series of explicit sexual encounters. He will turn their world upside down as they are able to redefine themselves in new, radical ways.

“A brilliantly depraved family affair. “The Visitor’s” retelling makes the original look positively tame by comparison.”
“Bruce LaBruce is Back with a spunky call-to-arms.”
“The Visitor is a love letter to Pasolini, penned with blood, sweat, and semen.”
