Almost equal to

Money does not matter

Life is not all about money.
And yet it is also the protagonist of every story as soon as it starts running out.
It’s not nice to talk about money.
And yet we think about it as often as we do about food, sex or the impending apocalypse.

Money means nothing.
And yet it gives us wings.
It fulfills every single dream.
And opens every door.
It soothes all pains, aches and ailments.
Forever. Amen!

Contemporary Swedish playwright Jonas Hassen Khemiri has received numerous international accolades. With good reason. His stories move fast, pack a punch and are filled with wit. Khemiri’s stories tell of Westerners’ issues, both big and small, in a thought provoking yet entertaining way. And for some reason Khemiri has not made it to Estonia. VAT seeks to fix that. And that’s why we are glad to bring you “Almost equal to”.
