"Love is the light. We have to enter the darkness to see the light.”
Forms of love which are transformed from film projections into live black light theatre scenes offer the audience a unique opportunity to experience a story of romance and emotions. From the first meeting of two people through the excitement of first dates and dance nights the audience is immersed in a dream world where love develops and changes. Dreams lead us to the many-armed goddess who symbolizes the diversity of love but also to dark nightmares that threaten to destroy the romantic spell and drag the couple in love into a stereotype.

The multimedia performance Images of Love combines elements of black light theatre with fascinating visual effects that appeal to audiences of all ages. This performance transcends the boundaries of traditional theater as it offers an interactive experience where the audience can participate in the emotions of the characters. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal allowing each viewer to let loose and live out their own romantic dreams without fear of convention.

The entire performance is non-verbal which means it avoids language barriers and allows for universal understanding. Audiences can laugh dance and experience fear as they watch the story unfold. Images of Love is not just about watching but actively experiencing love in its various forms. Come to have fun and dream because everyone can find a piece of their own love story in this black light theatre.

In the HILT black light theater which is known for its unique performances music plays a key role. The original compositions written by the director Theodor Hoidekr are complemented by world hits that immediately captivate the audience. Among them we find songs from iconic artists such as Shakira Sting AC/DC and Coldplay. The performance also features music from the cult film Dirty Dancing which evokes nostalgic memories. An interesting element is also the mystical version of the choir song by Koutev Bulgarian national ensemble for which the HILT black light theater secured a special license. This combination of original and well-known music creates a unique experience for the audience who can enjoy not only the visual but also the sound side of the performance Images of love!

HILT - black light theatre Prague:
Black light theatre in Prague offers a captivating alternative to traditional performances, appealing to those seeking a unique theatrical experience. This genre of theatre relies on mesmerizing visual effects, where performers dressed in black manipulate glowing props and costumes under ultraviolet light. The absence of spoken language creates a universal experience, allowing audiences of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy the show without any language barriers. With enchanting music and dynamic choreography, these performances invite spectators into a world of imagination and creativity.

"Born in the heart of old Prague in 2007, the Black Light Theater HILT has been a beacon of innovative theater performances. The visionary Theodor Hoidekr brought this concept to life and created a theatrical experience that is as immersive as it is captivating. As the years have passed, HILT has grown from a small group of passionate artists in a theater group that is recognized on the world stage. The breakthrough came in 2018, when HILT became the only Czech theater to win not one, but two awards at the prestigious World Theater Olympics in India. This was proof of their dedication and creativity and the fascinating performances they gave. The influence of HILT did not stop at the awards. They captivated the audience far and wide. One notable stop was at the Teatro Nacional, where they sold out all of the 2,000 seats after a world-renowned spectacle, HILT Black Light Theater has really established itself in the world of performing arts.”
