Visitor (played by Silvana Venturelli) is a protagonist in The Lickerish Quartet.
Visitor is a carnival performer who presents a dangerous motorcycle act and works at a shooting gallery. Fascinated by her precision and apparent experience, the Castle owner invites her to the castle, where she joins the household for drinks, magic, and a private film showing before mysteriously disappearing and reappearing. Castle owner (played by Frank Wolff) appears in The Lickerish Quartet.
The Castle owner is the central figure in the castle household and the main observer of the film’s uncertain reality. He becomes fascinated by Visitor, brings her home, studies the malfunctioning projection, and argues with His Wife about their marriage, their past, and the meaning of what they see. His Wife (played by Erika Remberg) appears in The Lickerish Quartet.
His Wife is the Castle owner’s skeptical spouse and a member of the household that watches the stag film and hosts Visitor. She questions the sincerity of the images, challenges her husband’s interpretations, and eventually rejects his account of their shared past during a bitter confrontation about their marriage. Son (played by Paolo Turco) appears in The Lickerish Quartet.
Son is the Castle owner and His Wife’s child, living with them in the castle. He watches the films with the adults, performs increasingly elaborate magic tricks for Visitor, and asks her to assist with an illusion. His performance helps trigger the disappearance that unsettles the household.
