About this show
A meditative, moving Aufguss show choreographed to the transcendental music of German minimalist composer Nils Frahm. Aufguss is a sauna ritual which circulates steam and scent though beautiful towel waving dance. Here in our magical sauna theatre our state-of-the-art lighting and surround sound fuse with the mastery our Aufguss artists to dazzle your every sense. Aching piano, ecstatic electronica and blissed out house beats envelop you as the heat rises and towels twirl. The most sensuous immersive show you'll ever live inside.
