Image - Black Light Theatre

About the venue

Black light magic on Národní třída — visual tricks, dance and pure fun at Prague's IMAGE Black Light Theatre.

IMAGE Theatre has been one of the leading stages of the unique Czech genre of black light theatre since 1989. Since 2016 it has performed in a modern, air-conditioned hall with 340 seats, a theatre café and a spacious stage at Národní 25, right in the centre of Prague.

Three Decades of Visual Theatre

Over more than three decades it has become an important part of Prague culture, well known not only to Prague citizens and visitors but also to audiences abroad. It has had over a hundred foreign trips around Europe, but also to the United Arab Emirates, Macau, South Korea, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Turkmenistan, Russia and Bahrain. Its creative work moved the development of the genre at the top level. Far from the original, simple form of black theatre, the contemporary one, synthetic and concentrated on clever and quality entertainment, has been reached. The ensemble has developed its own style. It brilliantly uses the technique of black theatre, elements of modern dance, original costumes, mime and non-verbal theatre, as well as contact with the audience. Mystification, precise execution of visual tricks, playful authors, compelling performances by actors and dancers and the desire to have fun and entertain the viewer, all is aimed at achieving the goal set: to perform a live theatre for a live audience.

More than 8,000 performed shows for over two million spectators are certainly not the only measure of the IMAGE Theatre's success. The essential goal remains the same — to keep the audience satisfied.

Current Repertoire

The current repertoire includes Abrakadabra, Afrikania, Black Box, Cosmic Cabinet, Galaxia and The Best of Image.
