Teatro ZinZanni is housed in a treasure of both history and magic: an antique Belgian Spiegeltent. This intricate structure transports us to a bygone era of opulence, blending artistry with entertainment in an experience like no other. Originating in the early 20th century, Spiegeltents, or “mirror tents,” were designed to tour Europe’s cities, bringing delight to audiences with their ornate beauty. Crafted with intricate woodwork, stained glass, and mirrors, these tents were more than mere venues; they were mobile palaces for dancing and happy gatherings. They could be erected and taken down very quickly. Teatro ZinZanni’s Spiegeltent in Chicago, named “ZaZou,” is a true marvel, tracing its heritage back to the artistic fervor of 1910. Each hand-carved detail and every reflective surface whispers stories of performances that have captivated hearts for over a century. As you step inside, you’re transported into a world where history and contemporary entertainment unite.
