Black Magic: Wow!

Link to previous post

We enjoyed a beer back in our hotel room before heading out for a truly Czech theatre experience.

A freak storm passed through on our way to the Black Light Theatre, a fitting culmination to a day of ups and downs.

We went to see a performance called "Wow!". We figured it must be good. The storyline was a little fantastical. Actors made use of white clothing and black light to generate some interesting special effects. One in particular was really cool. There were two actors on stage and they were dressed so that exactly one vertical half of their body was in white. They looked like two halves of a whole dancing separately. Very weird. The plot was meant to invoke a childlike dream (nightmare!). Men dressed in spider suits jumped off the stage and into the audience, hanging on the backs of seats. Giant white balls were thrown into the audience and bounced from person to person. I've never seen anything quite like it. Black Light is a Prague signature so I would definitely recommend checking it out...once.
