Spiegeltents are rare hand-made tents and used as travelling dance halls since the early 20th Century. The tent has travelled throughout the world and some of the world's greatest performers and musicians have performed in the Spiegeltent including Marlene Dietrich. This is the second year in succession that the Dublin Fringe Festival has brought the Spiegeltent to Dublin. SpiegelSchazaam was the opening night of the 2004 Fringe and a variety of acts took to the stage to kick off the Dublin Fringe Festival.
