Claus von Wagner - Projekt Equilibrium

Remember when democracy felt so self-evident that "casting your vote" meant: staying quiet for four years after the election?! Those days are gone.

Democracy is under pressure, something has tipped out of balance. The political world is shifting - enough to make your head spin. We may still stand on the solid ground of the constitution, but somehow it all felt more stable once.

"Projekt Equilibrium" is a show about the search for balance in a world that has come apart at the seams - a satirical, furious dance on the edge of the apocalypse.

Claus von Wagner's latest programme crosses the tradition of American stand-up comedy with topics that are, frankly, not funny at all - and suddenly words like debt brake, special fund, climate crisis, inheritance tax reform, or inequality become strangely entertaining!

No idea how he pulls it off, but one thing is certain: this promises to be a damn good evening. Nothing less. And sometimes even a little more.

"A disturbing stocktake of our times, only 'roaringly funny'" - Abendzeitung München

"A breathless, rapid solo from a wordsmith who, with this programme, could relight the torch of the great German cabaret tradition." - Neuburger Rundschau
