Google Sauna Sessions Arts ClubAbout the show
Aufguss x Nils Frahm is a 90-minute immersive theatre and dance show at Sauna Theatre during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, performed by Sauna Sessions Arts Club. Aufguss is a sauna ritual that circulates steam and scent through towel-waving dance. This production choreographs that ritual to the music of German minimalist composer Nils Frahm, combining aching piano, ecstatic electronica and blissed-out house beats with state-of-the-art lighting and surround sound. All audience members must wear swimwear as the show takes place in a sauna. Suitable for ages 14 and above.
Why see this show?
A sauna ritual performed as immersive theatre — 90 minutes of heat, towel-waving choreography and Nils Frahm's music surrounding you in a purpose-built Sauna Theatre. Nothing else at the Fringe is quite like this.
