Claus von Wagner: Projekt Equilibrium

Claus von Wagner is awarded the 2026 German Cabaret Prize.

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

Democracy is under pressure, something is out of balance. The political world is on the move. It can make you dizzy. We may stand firmly on the ground of the Basic Law, but somehow it has felt more stable in the past.

"Project Equilibrium" is a program about the search for balance in a world out of joint - a satirical-furious dance on the brink of apocalypse.

Claus von Wagner's latest program crosses the tradition of American stand-up comedy with topics that aren't actually fucking funny and words like debt brake, special assets, climate crisis, inheritance tax reform or inequality are suddenly strangely entertaining!
