Claus von Wagner - Projekt Equilibrium

Do you remember when we took democracy for granted to such an extent that “casting your vote” meant staying silent for four years after the election?!

Those days are over.

Democracy is under pressure; something has lost its balance. The political world is in flux. It’s enough to make your head spin. We may be standing firmly on the ground of the Constitution, but somehow it used to feel more stable.

“Project Equilibrium” is a show about the search for balance in a world gone haywire—a satirical, frenetic dance on the brink of the apocalypse.

Claus von Wagner’s latest show blends the tradition of American stand-up comedy with topics that are actually not funny at all—and makes words like “debt brake,”
special funds, climate crisis, inheritance tax reform, or inequality—suddenly seem strangely entertaining!

I have no idea how he does it, but one thing is certain: This promises to be a damn good evening, no less. And sometimes even a little more.

Press reviews:

A disturbing take on our times—but “hilariously funny”
Abendzeitung München

“A rare and much-needed source of encouragement.”
Süddeutsche Zeitung

“A breathless, fast-paced solo performance by a wordsmith who, with this program at the very latest, could reignite the torch of the great German cabaret tradition.”
Neuburger Rundschau
