While you wait for #STOFF2026, don’t miss STHLM DANCE!

While we prepare the program for the 17th edition of Stockholm Fringe Festival, there’s another exciting festival about to hit the dance spaces and stages of the Swedish Capital! 

Don't miss STHLM DANS, which runs from the 5th to the 13th of May across 10 different locations.  

FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHT: TESTO with WET MESS (UK) at DANSENS HUS, which brings dyke lust, moustache meals and a choreography of guttural sexuality! 

ABOUT: In TESTO, Wet Mess wet messifies the messiness of life with teeth and one chin hair; exploring transitions, testosterone, the edges of drag, the blurry line between performance and reality, character and self, and the magical in the mundane. Meet me at the computer of confused edges, for some guttural sexuality, too many images, where the made-up shit becomes real. 

  • SHOW DATES & TIMES: May 12th @ 20:00 (8 pm) & May 13th @ 20:00 (8 pm) 

  • DURATION: 60 min 

  • AGE GUIDANCE: 18+LOCATION:  DANSENS HUS / Barnhusgatan 12-14
