As Theodor Hoidekr, director of the renowned HILT black light theatre, explains, creating a new show demands a unique perspective: "For me, the most difficult part is thinking separately about the visible scene, the shining props and costumes, and separately about the invisible scene, the actors moving unseen in the dark. In the final result, it must be a precise combination of both."

Dobré obchodní vztahy mezi Indií a Českem sahají až do středověku. V rámci divadelních vztahů nejvíce uspělo české Černé divadlo HILT. V roce 2007 se tato skupina, tehdy nově vzniklá, vydala na dalekou cestu poprvé.

Imagine a theatre filled with a global mix of people: travelers who speak different languages, families with young children, and seasoned theatregoers all captivated by the same performance. This is the power of Black Light Theatre, a style that emphasizes visual storytelling through the clever use of black light, UV-reactive materials, and skilled performers.

While the demands of theatre direction are significant, Hoidekr finds balance in the simple joys of life. He's a passionate cook, finds solace in the escapism of crazy comedy films, and harbors a deep love for travel, eager to explore new places and cultures around the globe.

The success of HILT’s performance at Bharat Rang Mahotsav hinged on the profound cooperation with Indian directors Swati Sharma Vyas and Sajal Mondal. Their expertise and understanding of the Indian theatrical scene were instrumental in ensuring a seamless integration of the HILT's vision into the festival's venues in Jaipur and New Delhi. These individuals acted as key stage managers, orchestrating the intricate set-up of stages, lighting, and projections for HILT’s performance.

The Czech black light theatre HILT Prague has achieved international acclaim by winning a competition to create a show for the unveiling of the Porsche Taycan electric vehicle in Shanghai, China. This success underscores the global recognition of the Czech school of black light theatre, particularly as the unveiling of Porsche's first electric car, a direct competitor to Tesla, was eagerly awaited by the automotive world.

On November 24th, 2025, the HILT black light theatre company etched its name in entertainment history by becoming a central feature in a live performance of the wildly popular Czech podcast, "True Crimes," at Prague's O2 Arena. The event, a testament to the podcast's devoted fanbase, completely sold out, packing the venue with a staggering 20,000 enthusiastic attendees.
