Claus von Wagner

Do you 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 used to feel more stable.

"Project Equilibrium" is a program about the search for balance in a world out of kilter - 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!

No idea how he does it, but one thing is certain: this promises to be a damn good evening in any case. No less. And sometimes even a bit more.

Press reviews:
A disturbing stocktaking of our times, only "uproariously funny"
Abendzeitung Munich

"A rare, necessary encouragement."
Süddeutsche Zeitung

"Breathless, fast-paced solo by a worker of words who, with this program at the latest, could reignite the torch of the
great German cabaret tradition with this program at the latest."
Neuburger Rundschau
