Anecdotes and curiosities about Cabaret Sauvage
1. An unexpected success
Le Cabaret moved to the Parc de la Villette in December 1997. This is the project of Méziane Azaïche, who had already installed a Magic Mirror in the park in 1994, originally for a few weeks, but which, following its success, remained open for several months and 25,000 spectators later. The idea of a permanent big top was born, and was realized 3 years later. Since then, it has been renovated in 2019 and continues to delight Parisian audiences.
2. A unique Magic Mirror
This cabaret is a Magic Mirror. What does that mean? Well, it’s a type of circular or rectangular marquee of red velvet and wood that includes mirrors for two reasons, to amplify the depth of its enclosure, and so you can keep a furtive eye on a desired person. But Méziane’s has an extra special feature: it’s the first in the world to be soundproofed! Let the party begin!
