Black Light Theatre Srnec

About

Black Light Theatre Srnec is the world’s first black‑light theatre, pioneering a unique non‑verbal performance style where props and actors come to life against a black backdrop. Founded in 1961 by Jiří Srnec, the troupe has toured more than 300 times across 68 countries and has earned a reputation as a cultural ambassador for Czech theatre. The venue is housed in the historic Reduta Jazz Club in Prague, providing an intimate yet atmospheric setting for its audiences. Each show, especially the popular “Antología” lineup, blends humor, music, dance, and silent storytelling into a 90‑minute experience that is family‑friendly and accessible to all ages. International audiences, including heads of state, have praised the theatre’s inventive use of space and visual effects, making it a must‑visit for those interested in avant‑garde performance art. The theatre prioritizes safety and convenience: tickets must be booked online or purchased at the box office, and while the auditorium is not wheelchair accessible, light refreshments are available and restrooms are located inside the venue. The theatre remains a celebrated landmark of Prague’s cultural scene, attracting both seasoned theatre lovers and families looking for an enchanting evening of non‑verbal performance.
