Claus von Wagner - Projekt Equilibrium

Do you 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 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 firmly grounded in the Basic Law, but somehow things 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, frankly, aren’t funny at all—and terms like “debt brake,” “special fund,” “climate crisis,” “inheritance tax reform,” or “inequality” suddenly become strangely entertaining! I have no idea how he does it, but one thing is certain: This is definitely going to be a damn good evening. Nothing less. And sometimes even a little more.
