Black light theatre—which the founder of this troupe claims to have invented—is based on the simple observation that the colour black tends to disappear against a black backdrop. With the proper lighting, actors dressed all in black can seem to appear from nowhere, float through the air or shed their skins and be transformed into something quite unexpected. Used as a stage effect in performances of mime, clowning and other non-verbal theatre, this technique has been the bread and butter of Prague's tourist industry since the sixties.
