How much do you earn? Who do you serve? In Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s recent play ≈[Almost Equal To] we encounter people who all are colliding with the economy surrounding them.

Martyna dreams about growing her way out of the contemporary economic system, Mani want to crush it. Andrej is looking for a job, and Freja wants to hold on to her place within it. They all invest money in postage and pine nuts, fake bubbles and perfumes, strollers and utopias. Everyone seems invaded by numbers. How are we, our eyes, our words, our bodies affected by the economic system that surrounds us?

≈ [Almost Equal To] is a funny and brutal play that tries (and fails?) to give the audience a maximised entertainment value for every penny invested.
