Claus von Wagner - Projekt Equilibrium

Remember when we took democracy so much for granted that "casting your vote" meant: staying silent for four years after the election? Those days are gone.

"Projekt Equilibrium" is Claus von Wagner's latest programme - a search for balance in a world out of balance, a satirical and furious piece about things that really shouldn't be funny at all. Debt brakes, special assets, climate crisis, inheritance tax reform, inequality - and suddenly it's all oddly entertaining. The programme blends the tradition of American stand-up comedy with topics that are currently making us sweat politically.

"A disturbing assessment of our times, only hilariously funny." - Abendzeitung München

"Breathless, rapid-fire solo from a wordsmith who, with this programme, could reignite the torch of the great German cabaret tradition." - Neuburger Rundschau
