OSLOEROTIC PRESENTS
THE GRAND BALL
This year, OSLOEROTIC 2025 takes new and dazzling form — an opulent costume ball where art and desire meet beneath the soaring ceilings of Norway’s most beautiful venue. The Erotica Ball invites you to dress in your finest and step into a night shaped by poetry, performance, music, and beauty. Here, sensuality is not shouted, but whispered through art — an invitation to savor, to celebrate, and to be moved. A feast for the senses. A tribute to the exquisite dance between elegance and longing.
The New Form
OSLOEROTIC has always been a labor of passion — a bold, independent creation, built to bring an erotic cultural scene to life in Oslo. After two incredible festivals, we realized it was time to evolve in a way that nurtures both the project and the people behind it. This year, we reimagine OSLOEROTIC in a new and more intimate form: a decadent, exclusive gathering with only 200 tickets available. A grand costume ball where music, poetry, pastries, performances, and beauty awaken every sense. A night to savor — and a future to sustain.
What to expect?
Imagine a night where fantasy and artistry entwine — where the most exquisite costumes fill the room, and every moment drips with music, poetry, performance, and delight. We open the evening with an expert talk — a gathering of minds and hearts to set the tone for the night ahead. Directly following, we will honor courage and expression by awarding the Sexual Diversity Award: a tribute to those who expand the horizons of love, freedom, and erotic culture.
​
As the night deepens, performances will bloom across the evening, delicate pastries and sweet delights will tempt the senses, and the music will carry us further into revelry. Later in the night, we will hold our beloved tradition: the grand prize for Best Costume — celebrating those who dare to dazzle.

Expert Talk
"Embodied sexuality"
Join us for an expert talk featuring some of Norway’s leading voices in the sex-positive and conscious pleasure communities. As pioneers in creating inclusive spaces for all genders and sexualities, our speakers will explore how sexuality can evolve beyond the mechanical and addictive — becoming a transcendent, connected experience. Together, we will delve into how emotional blockages can hinder intimacy, and how healing these barriers opens the door to deeper, more authentic connection. This is a conversation not to be missed — a rare opportunity to reflect, expand, and reimagine pleasure as an art of presence and emotion.
Do you like cake?
In true homage to the grand madame of excess, we channel Marie Antoinette’s spirit with a feast of cakes and confections fit for royalty. Indulge without hesitation — towers of pastries and decadent delights await those who know that pleasure is an art form. Let them eat cake? Oh, darling — we insist.

Venue
Militærets samfunnshus
This year, The Erotica Ball will take place at Militærets Samfundshus — one of Norway’s most decadent and historically rich venues. With its grand architecture and opulent interiors, it offers the perfect backdrop for a night where elegance meets sensuality. We’re deeply honored to bring our celebration of sensuality, art, and radical self-expression into such an iconic space.
A Costume Ball?
Express your ultimate form
That means you’re invited to express yourself in your ultimate form. Historically, costume balls have been spaces of transformation, mystery, and liberation—where societal roles could be shed in favor of fantasy, play, and artistic self-expression.
The Erotica Ball takes this tradition one step further: here, sensuality and sexuality are not only welcomed but celebrated. Through fabric, skin, fantasy, and form, we reclaim eroticism as a natural and powerful part of who we are.
