What is a Show Aufguss

The Aufguss Show is a simple mix of all the types of Aufguss that exist today. In the Aufguss Show, the practice is amplified into a kind of theatrical performance. The sauna master not only distributes aromatic steam but also uses choreographed movements, music, costumes, lights, sets, and other forms of entertainment to engage sauna guests in a more complete sensory experience. This type of event can be more theatrical and engaging compared to the traditional Aufguss practice, pushing the boundaries of sauna art and creating a more fun and spectacular atmosphere for the guests.

This short theatrical performance, lasting between 12 and 15 minutes, showcases the synthetic abilities of the Aufguss masters. During this interval, they can communicate the theme and development through musical, cinematic, or literary performances, often interpreting them as in a theater. Aufguss Shows are mainly created for special events and competitions, where sauna masters stage their spectacular skills that combine technique, creativity, and entertainment, making the experience unique and engaging for the audience. The preparation of an Aufguss Show for a World Championship can require hundreds of hours of effort from the sauna master, in addition to often high costs for sets and costumes.

Participating in an Aufguss Show is a fantastic, invigorating, and often emotional experience. The mastery of advanced ventilation techniques by the sauna master transforms the ritual into a true performance. The choreographed sequences involve rhythmic and sophisticated towel movements, creating an almost theatrical experience that adds aesthetic value to the therapeutic effectiveness of the practice.
