Exciting experiments, educational entertainment, and plenty of amazement: The Chemical Christmas Show “Chemical Life” will bring science to the stage of the Schauspielhaus Graz on December 4 – spectacular, entertaining, and full of “aha” moments.

The Chemistry Education Center of the University of Graz is once again delivering a very special Christmas gift this year: the Chemical Christmas Show. Under the motto “Chemical Life”, the Schauspielhaus Graz will become the stage for fascinating chemical phenomena on Thursday, December 4, at 7:30 p.m.

Look forward to an entertaining and at the same time educational show full of exciting experiments, impressive effects, and surprising connections to everyday life. The event vividly demonstrates how deeply chemistry shapes our daily lives – and provides inspiration for one or two experiments under the Christmas tree.

Tickets: €5 (including public transport ticket valid throughout Styria)
Get your tickets here.

Work on the experiments and show elements is already in full swing in the lab – take a behind-the-scenes look on Instagram at @die7.fakultaet.
