After Forever
The mysterious Madame Zingara welcomes you to her forest
where legends and folklore come to life; secrets and myths dance in the air and
magic becomes tangible. Victoria is the
enchantress casting her s
pell as we begin to believe, even for just a moment,
that we are no longer in the now, but in a
timeless land - After Forever…..
A seedling has magically sprouted with vines that have
climbed Victoria’s walls twining itself around her bevelled stained glass
mirrors with its thick tendrils. In the middle, an aged Tree of Life has
emerged with roots deeply embedded in the earth.
A fallen God, Icarus is on a quest to captivate his great
love and he searches the forest seeking answers from ancient creatures within.
As the branches sway softly, he listens carefully for the chants and echoes of
his sweet love, and so our tale unfolds. He encounters ethereal Siamese twins,
a majestic Lyrical Queen and fends off the Forbidden Fruit of Dark. Slowly
Victoria’s spell begins to take hold as your imagination slips into her rich
red velvet ceiling.
Manga mummies, fair maidens and pied-pipers appear from the
shadows, these travelling players have many a tale to tell, so be careful where
you tread as you may never return to the illicit land of now.
This captivating tour launches in October 2013 at the
Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town. The show runs nightly from Tuesday
to Sunday and tickets range from R385 – R1, 250 p/p, depending on seating area
and packages.
After Forever moves to Johannesburg in January 2014 (tickets

The Theatre of Dreams
Madame Zingara’s Theatre of Dreams is a dinner cirque
spectacular which has been thrilling audiences in Cape Town, Johannesburg and
Durban since early 2007.
Based on the traditional Mirror tents of Europe, the
innovative Theatre of Dreams has completely transformed the concept of dining
out in South Africa, earning them many accolades for their interpretation of
‘dinner theatre.’
Offering a multi-sensory experience which transcends the
boundaries between audience, artists and staff, it is a unique synthesis of
dining and entertainment where everything is possible and anything can happen.
Madame Zingara
Originally founded in 2001 by Richard Griffin, Madame
Zingara was a capricious 80-seater restaurant nestled in the heart of Cape
Town’s city centre. It was well known for its outlandish glitter-dusted service
and Richard’s whimsical culinary creations.
Disaster struck in 2006 and the restaurant was burnt to the
ground, Unable to rebuilt what was lost, the Zingara family fought back and so
the Theatre of Dreams was born – an enthralling traveling dinner cirque
extravaganza housed in one of the last remaining antique mirror tents in the
world. Enjoying full houses in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, Madame
Zingara transformed the concept of dining out in South Africa, earning many
accolades and awards along the way.
Being a Cape Town based company, it seemed only right to put
down roots and the Zingara Group has lovingly restored and resurrected landmark
city restaurants. The Sidewalk Café, Café Mozart, Café Paradiso , The BombayBicycle Club and, most recently DonPedro & all his Beautiful Wives, are
now all proudly part of the Zingara family.
