The Salon Perdu is a European Mirror Tent (spiegeltent) - the ultimate cabaret and music salon. Spiegeltents are hand-sewn pavilions used as travelling dance halls and entertainment salons since they were created in the early 20th century. There are only a handful of these unique and legendary ‘tents of mirrors’ left in the world today.
This production is suitable for primary and intermediate
year levels 5–8.
