WOW - Black Light Theatre

Last night I went to a Czech speciality - Black Light Theatre. This type of theatre involves the use of dance, mime, music and lots of special lighting effects to tell a story. WOW was the name of the production and was recommended to me as one of the best in Prague. It was the story of finding the child in your inner self and was great although quite short for the price, only one hour. They use lots of black costumes and a black backdrop plus UV light and normal light so only certain parts can be seen. It looks really bizarre when a person is half in black and half in white, either right side - left side, or back - front. Then to top it all off there is some audience involvement like hitting around giant beach balls and big (human) spiders coming crawling through the audience and making all the teenage girls scream (just can't escape the school groups!). Anyway it was great entertainment and well worth seeing. I'm glad I went as I debated about the cost. Last day in Prague today, tomorrow off to Wroclaw, Poland.
