Black Light Theatre
Tickets
Black light theatre, a unique and visually compelling artistic genre, has found its home in Prague. This form of theatre art originated in the 1960s and quickly became a characteristic element of Czech culture. Black light theatre uses special lighting and tricks with a black background, allowing actors to work with fluorescent objects and create illusionistic effects. The Prague black light theatre scene has become one of the most famous in the world. Performances combine pantomime, dance performances and music with incredible optical illusions. Using darkness and special lighting, objects seemingly move independently of the actors, creating a magical and hypnotic experience for the audience. Prague’s black light theatres, such as Black Light Theatre Jiří Srnec, have become an essential part of the city’s cultural scene. This form of artistic expression fascinates audiences of all ages and represents an interesting combination of traditional elements of Czech folklore and modern experimental theatre. For visitors to Prague, a visit to the black light theatre is a unique experience full of illusions, humour and fantastic stories.
