We’re bringing our award-winning Images of Love to the House of Culture in Čelákovice to kick off our Czech theatre tour. Expect modern black light theatre: visual illusions, dynamic movement, music — a bold, non-traditional stage experience.

HILT Black Light Theatre presents a dance-driven, colour-soaked clip to the new track “Entra a la Oscuridad (summer dance mix)”. This video is built on our black light theatre language: UV-glow costumes, floating masks and visual illusions — the poetry of light born from darkness.

For over half a century, Prague has been home to a unique art form that blends illusion, dance, and silent poetry—black light theatre. But where did this world-famous phenomenon begin? And how did a small group of Czech artists turn the darkness into a magical stage that’s captivated audiences on every continent?

Once, two very different souls met on a Prague stage, and fate melted them into something new. This is the story of how Theodor and Štěpánka’s unexpected friendship created HILT – a theatre born not from a plan, but from heart, courage, and a bit of magic.

We wanted to show that black light theatre isn’t just about the magic on stage, but the magic of curiosity, adventure, and a sense of wonder. Our comic follows two (slightly mischievous) explorers as they search for something truly original to do in Prague… and stumble into the weird, wild world of HILT.

Director Theo and our actor Martin were having a regular meal. But when the waitress came to the table, something mischievous sparked. Without a word, we both got down on our knees and began worshipping her as if she were a goddess descending from the heavens.

At HILT, we’re not just theatre. We’re family. Onstage, offstage, and every moment in between – we stand together, help each other, and share the joys and troubles of life. Want to know what truly glows behind the curtain?

HILT Black Light Theatre Prague, known in Spanish as "HILT teatro Negro Praga", is taking its unique brand of interactive light show entertainment beyond the stage! This innovative theatre group, led by directors Theodor Hoidekr and Stepanka Pencova, is always looking for new ways to connect with audiences and collaborate with other artists. Now, they're diving into the world of music with their brand new single, "Entra a la Oscuridad" – translating to "Enter the Darkness," the very motto of HIL

HILT black light theatre, originally conceived as a touring company, has carved a unique niche for itself. While their mesmerizing performances have captivated audiences in large venues around the world, their heart lies in a more intimate setting: an exclusive, 50-seat theatre nestled in the heart of Old Prague.
