Christian Dirr - the Comedyjongleur - and Sebastian Matz (piano) guarantee for an unforgettable evening with comedy, music, artistry and fiery emotions.
Christian Dirr plays with bludgeons, balls and torches as well as with the laughing muscles of his spectators. His quick and charming word joke as well as the eye-winking game with the audience are the recipe for success of the turbulent show. A strange journey by comedy, jonglage, - a show with much spontaneous improvisation.

They want to maintain their leading position in the world-wide competition for the next semiconductor generation. In the mask center lithographic masks will be developed and samples will be produced, with which silicon wafer are exposed. The three partners have therefore established an equally owned joined venture with the name Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG. Their mission is to develop technology and deliver R&D masks with reasonable costs and cycle times by giving technology the highest priority. We offer an excursion to the mask center which gives an insight into the mask center itself and offers the opportunity to get first-hand information about the joint venture, its vision and strategy by representatives of the AMTC, AMD and Infineon.
