Loneliness can create a world in one's head completely disconnected from the outside. The hero balances on the constructs of his own suffering. His honesty with himself does not allow him to understand society. The proximity of risk makes him feel good even though he is afraid of it. He doesn't believe in God, and little actually matters to him. He is a stranger inside each of us. His name is Erlend.

A lyrical reflection on Albert Camus' iconic The Stranger, rendered in the genre of physical theatre with virtuoso acrobatic elements. The creators of Erlend – stranger have developed original balancing apparatuses made of pure wood and metal, which undergo a movement and meaning research, the result of which encompasses the immediate emotions of an acrobat and an actor.
