The play "The Stranger," based on the book by Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Albert Camus, is being directed by Slovenian director Jernej Lorenci, considered the most prominent figure in contemporary Slovenian theatre, as well as one of the most individual, insightful, and innovative theatre creators in Europe.

The novel "The Stranger," which explores themes of indifference, loneliness, and absurd coincidences, describes a short stage in the life of the protagonist Meursault and his trial. Having refused to lie to himself and others, having disobeyed the rules imposed by society, and having fallen into a series of strange coincidences, Meursault is ultimately condemned not for a potential crime, but for being different – a stranger.

Is modern society, more tolerant than ever, actively defending human rights and standing up for the weak, truly tolerant of those who are different? Are there those who are different whom everyone pities, and others whom they do not? Where is the difference? How would you feel if you were in court trying to explain the motives for your behavior, only to receive the same biased questions and realize that your answers are actually of no interest to anyone? Would you fight or give up?
