Google Sauna Sessions Arts ClubAbout the show
International Aufguss Masters is a unique theatre and dance experience presented by Sauna Sessions Arts Club, taking place inside a working sauna theatre at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Aufguss is a sauna ritual in which steam and scent are circulated through mesmeric towel waving as part of a story told through words, music, dance, scent and heat. Two different world-class Aufguss artists from across Europe and around the world perform every day, with line-ups announced in advance on the @saunatheatre social media channels. The show runs for 90 minutes at Sauna Theatre and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. All audience members are required to wear swimwear.
Why see this show?
Theatre that genuinely uses all of your senses — heat, scent, sound, choreography and storytelling combined into a single 90-minute experience. International Aufguss Masters is unlike anything else at the Fringe, and the line-up of artists changes daily.
