The festival was held at the "C.T." (a concert/cafe venue in Leipzig), and it seems that this was an annual festival. Note that "Jux" roughly translates to "frolic", and this poster features art of a painter with a masked balloon for a head. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that decades later, in 1972, the "Mummenschanz Mask Theater" was founded in the U.S., Canada, and South America (they even appeared as special guest stars on "The Muppet Show"!), and there was a Mummenschanz show on Broadway that ran from 1977 to 1980. These were a tribute to the original Mummenschanz festivals of the 1920s and 1930s, and have made modern day audiences much more aware of them!
