| | | Black light theatre is a specialty of Prague, a world of illusory creations and hidden secrets. The story is told visually through a highly charged mix of theatrical elements: colourfully dressed mime artists, visual illusions, comedy, energetic dance routines, acrobatics, and dramatic sound and lighting effects.
There is often a strong emotional edge to performances, with comedic touches throughout.
In black light theatre, there is little or no spoken dialogue. This makes the shows ideal for international audiences, including both adults and children. | |

The New Stage Theatre (Nová scéna) is currently closed for renovation until 2028. Laterna magika is a variation of black light theatre, with performances traditionally held at the New Stage Theatre in Prague.
The shows employ the same dramatic theatrical elements as other black light theatre productions, but instead of static backdrops, animated and live-action film is displayed on a large screen behind the performers. | |

Mime artists and dancers interact with the screen to tell the story, gradually blending in with the moving images, causing the audience to question: what is film and what is live? Shows
are vibrant and fast-moving, often with an emotional edge and comedic touches. As in all forms of black light, there is little or no spoken dialogue. The New Stage Theatre (Nová scéna) was established in 1958, and is the world's first multimedia theatre. Shows are suitable for adults and children of all ages and nationalities. |
