HILT Black Light Theatre: From Prague to Kladno – first Czech tour stop with unforgettable energy

While Čelákovice was meant to open the Czech tour, due to technical reasons the start was moved – and Kladno became the very first city to welcome the Prague-based HILT Black Light Theatre. And what a start it was: a sold-out hall, thrilled audience, unforgettable energy.

The show Images of Love, already awarded at the world’s largest theatre festival in India, captivated Czech viewers with a fast-paced combination of black light illusion, original music, and wordless poetic movement. Viewers laughed, danced, waved – HILT shows rarely end in classic applause. It's more like a party.

Director and founder Theodor Hoidekr closed the evening with a live performance of his new Spanish single about darkness and light. He also returned one last time, as himself, to deliver an unexpected but heartfelt message:

“Theatre is sacred. Please don’t leave your mess behind. I personally spoke with the cleaning ladies—they are not your servants. They deserve respect.”

The collaboration with the theatre's management and staff was exceptional. We laughed together behind the scenes and said goodbye with true affection. Our thanks to Lucie Černá and the entire technical team of the Municipal Theatre Kladno – we couldn’t have wished for a warmer welcome.

More Czech towns are coming soon – our production manager Dana Oulovská is in talks with multiple venues. Let’s bring black light magic to the whole country.
