Magic Phantom Comedy Prague

Magic Phantom Comedy – black light theatre. The motto of the HILT Black Light Theatre Prague is: “You have to enter the darkness to see the light.” The twice-awarded theater at the World Theater Olympics 2018 in India, which also recently sold out 2,000 seats at the Teatro Nacional Guatemala, welcomes you to its home stage in a historic space with an exclusive 50 seats.

Prague is the world home and heart of the black light theatre genre since 1960s. There were 10 black light theatre produtions in Prague until the pandemic times of covid-19. Since 2020 there are 4 active black light theatres – HILT black light theatre Prague, WOW black light theatre, Image black light theatre and Srnec black light theatre.

The Magic Phantom Comedy – HILT black light theatre performance attracts audiences who do not normally go to the theater. Conservative evening wear does not apply here, it is not a classic performance of the theater. The combination of 12 different dance images in the dark, where only the phosphorescent colors shine, will entertain children, youth, adults and cheerful grandmothers and grandfathers. The comedic performance will not leave a single face without a smile. The show is interactive and, thanks to the small space, takes place in direct contact with the viewer.

Black theater as such has its history since the 1960s, and Prague is known as the world’s “home” of this genre. Thanks to the optical illusion, props and actors float, appear and disappear again in absolute darkness. Paradoxically, this genre has the most success in the world during its big tours.

HILT is one of the few black light theaters that survived the covid pandemic. It is located in the center of Old Prague in an underground stone space with foundations from the 15th century. The audience sits level with the stage of the performance and is thus completely drawn into the magic of darkness and light.

“Imagine a world where the line between reality and illusion blurs, where visuals come alive and stories captivate your senses. Welcome to the realm of black theater HILT. HILT in the heart of old Prague offers a unique blend of captivating storytelling and dynamic visuals. It’s an immersive experience that draws you into the extraordinary world created by the visionary director Theodore Hoidekre. It is not just theater; it is an experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional performances.”

“Born in the heart of old Prague in 2007, the Black Light Theater HILT has been a beacon of innovative theater performances. The visionary Theodor Hoidekr brought this concept to life and created a theatrical experience that is as immersive as it is captivating. As the years have passed, HILT has grown from a small group of passionate artists in a theater group that is recognized on the world stage. The breakthrough came in 2018, when HILT became the only Czech theater to win not one, but two awards at the prestigious World Theater Olympics in India. This was proof of their dedication and creativity and the fascinating performances they gave. The influence of HILT did not stop at the awards. They captivated the audience far and wide. One notable stop was at the Teatro Nacional, where they sold out all of the 2,000 seats after a world-renowned spectacle, HILT Black Light Theater has really established itself in the world of performing arts.”
