Society & Culture:Places & Travel
Created for Brussels European Capital of Culture in 2000, the Zinneke Parade has become a mainstay of the city's cultural landscape. Every two years two dozen Zinnodes (think of the Krewes of New Orleans' Mardi Gras) rally around a theme (after such themes as Water, Disorder, Temptation, Fragility, Illegal and Wolves! this year's theme is Trompe l’oeil) and create an unforgettable, entrancing, striking and magical spectacle that combines elements of Belgium's very rich and ancient carnival folklore with a contemporary multicultural twist .
What does it take to put it on? We spoke with Peter Veyt, artistic director of the Jette Zinnode to find out.
