IMAGE - BLACK LIGHT THEATRE (Easy Prague Travel Agency - Accommodation and Sightseeing in Prague)    http://www.easyprague.cz/en/sightseeing-and-entertainment/detail/image/

When? Every day at 8 p.m., some days at 6 p.m too. See the programme below!

Of course, not all the theatres are the same. Black theatre is different; the light is different and the dark is different. The intense darkness of black theatre is full of fantasy. Poetic pictures are approaching you from the mysterious and almost indefinite depth of a black cabinet. You cannot see the actors as they are invisible.

Suddenly you can see them rather well and almost dangerously close. Dance will express the unspoken, disturb emotions and overcome laws of physics. Music will bring inanimate to life, tragic will change into comic, unbelievable will become real. And, moreover, your imagination will fully awake. If you are willing to join our exploration, inside you may find something you have never known existed.

 

REPERTORY

Cabinet 

Professor Prazak’s Cabinet of Curiosities and Miracles
Please, enter and admire the perfection, beauty and work of genius! You will see a demonstration of interesting exhibits and an explanation of their principles and functions! Unique collection of curiosities and miracles of the 20th century! First time in public! Practical demonstrations! Enter at your own risk!
Welcome to my Cabinet. After years of hard work trying to solve Prazak’s Circular Paradox I have decided to make the results of my research public to both the layman and experts. As the official institutions have not been very understanding I have decided, or rather, I have been forced, to establish the Cabinet at my own expense in order to demonstrate in front of an audience that the only way to escape the vicious circle of the expansion of civilisation is through miracles inside ourselves. The mentioned demonstration is not entirely risk-free and therefore I am pleased that you have taken that risk and visited the Cabinet.  Professor Prazak

Black box

You encounter a number of new elements in the Black box performance. You will be surprised by possibilities of black effects, luminescent lights and their visual effects. Modern dance is supported by perfect black light technique, causing dancers and objects to levitate, rotate and move in defiance of the rules of gravity. Constituent elements are inspired by the contemporary world, time, even dreams, and the transformed fantasy of moving objects. The subconscious mind of each visitor can find its own association and interpretation.
A combination of interesting props, original music and projection once again provides our multinational audience with a very unusual experience. Non-verbal sketches, reflecting detective, crime and action stories, are interspersed with scenes in "the black". They tell us a story of unrevealed and unknown crime, culprits and their hunters.
The hero, acting as a brave and indestructible executor of the Law, chases fleeing gangsters with the determination of a hunting dog. Find out yourself whether or not the black box mystery will be revealed.

The best of Image

Spectator and visitor countenance developed big interest of foreign producers. To fulfil requirements of producers decided Image dramaturgist council to compile special performances for tours. It was necessary to prepare the cross-section of actual work and act as well as the image of ensemble for those who meet with us for the first time. And therefore was in 1998 created THE BEST OF IMAGE. The performance fulfilled its purpose on many European stages and its success was so big that became later on a fixed part of the programme offer even on Prague's stage.

Africania

The performance Afrikania tells about a meeting of a married couple during their exotic holiday with a postman who finds himself unexpectedly in the position of a reception clerk of an abandoned hotel. The story blends together with impressive images of the region Afrikania, full of varied animal kinds to which the newest black theatre technique, non-traditional costumes and professional dancing performances breathe in life. Theatre designing inspired by nature and the projection surrounding the spectator put the finishing touches to the atmosphere of this fantasy world, to which we invite you for a non-traditional trip.

Studio Clip

It seems to be an ironic and a theatre view on the film shooting as well as a view on people in front of and behind the camera. To fulfill a screenplay and imaginations of the director is not always easy, especially if "fear and horror" shall be squeezed in the cinematographic format. You will have a chance to see how a crazy film crew is trying to get through difficulties with shooting and how a film horror can integrate into their life. Original music, scenic dance and magic of the black light theatre frame a funny story about the film shooting of "horror".
