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 over. Democracy is under pressure, something has gone off-balance. The political world is in motion - 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 searching 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 yet words like debt brake, special fund, climate crisis, inheritance tax reform, or inequality suddenly become strangely entertaining. Nobody quite knows 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.
