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 HILT: "Enter the darkness (to see the light)."

This isn't HILT's first foray into music. They already have a Czech single, "Images of Love," which will be featured in the grand finale of their shows starting October 2024. However, "Entra a la Oscuridad" marks a significant step, embracing a new language and genre.

Theodor Hoidekr penned the initial lyrics and melody, leveraging the power of AI for translation and music finalization, including the AI-generated vocals. This modern approach perfectly complements the theatre's forward-thinking spirit.

So why Spanish and raggaeton? HILT has seen a growing fanbase from Spanish-speaking countries, and the team recognized the inherent popularity and energetic rhythm of Spanish-language music. The directors, Theodor and Stepanka, found inspiration during their annual holiday escape aboard MSC Cruises. This year, they explored the Canary Islands on the "MSC Opera," where they were captivated by the infectious energy of raggaeton music. This experience solidified their decision to create a raggaeton-infused track, bringing the vibrant sounds of the cruise ships back to Prague.

The resulting music video for "Entra a la Oscuridad" is a visual feast. The video incorporates colorful imagery from their mesmerizing black light theatre performances. In a unique twist, the face of František Stehlík, HILT's youngest actor, is used as a singing model with his lips synced to the lyrics, adding a touch of surrealism to the modern aesthetic. To ground the video with authenticity and energy, Theodor Hoidekr and Adela Doskočilová, key members of the HILT team, can be seen dancing to the infectious raggaeton beat.

"Entra a la Oscuridad" is more than just a song; it's an invitation. An invitation to experience the light that shines within the darkness, a testament to HILT's commitment to pushing boundaries and connecting with audiences in exciting and unconventional ways. Prepare to move to the rhythm and delve into the darkness to discover the radiant light of HILT teatro Negro Praga! Keep an eye out for the music video release and get ready to "Entra a la Oscuridad"!
