Karoline Kristensen entered for her performance. But this was no ordinary Dutch theatre: the temperature was 80 degrees Celsius and the audience naked apart from a towel.
Dressed in a swimsuit and to the tune of emotional music, the 21-year-old Kristensen started her routine, performed inside a large sauna, with a bed of hot rocks in the middle.
For a week in September a group of wellness practitioners, called "sauna masters", are gathering at a picturesque health resort deep in the Netherlands to compete in this year's "Aufguss" world sauna championships.
The practice takes its name from a German term that loosely means "steam infusion" and refers to ritual preparation of a steam bath in a sauna.
«Aufguss is an art. It's a theatrical way of doing sauna,» said Lasse Eriksen, vice president of the Aufguss WM competition and jury member.
