The formation of Theatre Zingaro
In the period of the 1980s theatre gained quite some popularity as a regular medium of relaxing and entertaining. However moving apart from the conventional approach to theatre there were a few appreciably brave attempts to set bench marks with a new dimensional theatre that would give the viewers a totally unseen and unheard experience. In one such attempt Bartabas, a keen equestrian and a trained and talented actor began the journey of what is popularly known as Zingaro or Theatre Zingaro or Zingaro Theatre . The founder was influenced by his most adored horse, whose name was Zingaro and hence the performing group was named so, one major reason other than his affection towards the animal that was his companion for nearly 20 years was that Bartabas saw that his performances would include the human performers in alliance with animals (horses) which made Zingaro a totally different group and gave it an unique identity which later became the brand.
The group in the later part of the 1980s settled in the area lying north of Paris which became the home for all participating members including the horses. The group consisted of actors, dancers, technicians and the skilful animals. Since the group tried to bring about the aspects of the bond between the horses and men their coordination was highly critical and this was where Zingaro excelled. They ensured that they got the right people handling the right animals and the right people doing the right job. With all efforts and hard work theatre Zingaro did get success and applauds from world over and as of today they have travelled to various continents in order to exhibit and showcase the power of their performances and shows. They have been constantly evolving and providing the audience with quality and variety.

The Zingaro experience
Some experiences in life are worth a mention and that precisely what a viewer would say about the time spent in order to see a performance of the group, Theatre Zingaro. The group established in France has travelled to different parts of the world showing glimpses of their master craft and with an ability to excel in the field of performing arts. When the audience enters into a theatre or an arena to witness a show by Zingaro the expectations are really high as they have been highly acclaimed by audience across the worlds as well as they have a great backdrop or a wonderful canvas to all their performances. Most of the times the people expect to see actors and artistes combine on stage to pour out the emotions of a narration with actions on a related piece of music and some well choreographed steps. But the Zingaro experience is totally different, the performance is a juggled act with the combination of men, women and skilfully performing horses. Since the group had started with their performance the horses have been a major part of the entire act and this can be attributed to the kind of liking the founder had for horses and theatre.
Whatever be the place and whoever be the audience a Zingaro experience rarely fails to entertain you. With the kind of theatre practiced over the years going through monotony Zingaro has been a great attempt to bring in much more to the overall viewer experience, also this has been able to highlight the coming together of different cultures in order to put light on the kind of connection that has been established between men and horses over the centuries. It can be surely said that while there could be experiences that are good but what is better than the good and can capture the imagination of the audience it is the Zingaro experience.
