A theatre without words, where everything is acted out through visual effects and music. This creates stories packed with fantasy and emotion. The black light theatre experience is completely unique and leaves a deep impression on the audience.
After the Velvet Revolution, Prague became the world base and home of the black light theatre genre. For many years, Prague was home to around 10 theatre companies, which, as well as performing on their home stages, travelled with great success all over the world. Now (after the Covid-19 pandemic), there are 4 permanent black light theatres in Prague. Take them up on their invitation!
