HILT black light theatre

I’m Theo Hoidekr, the creative force behind Prague’s most daring black light theatre – HILT. For over 2 decades, I’ve directed, choreographed, and performed shows that have turned shadows into poetry and silence into magic. My theatre isn’t just a place—it’s an experience where light, movement, and fantasy collide on stage, night after night.

What’s going on?

HILT Black Light Theatre is not just a tourist attraction, but a living laboratory of stage illusion. We blend classic Czech stagecraft with new-wave visual art, UV effects, and wordless storytelling that crosses all borders. Whether in historic Prague or on tour from India to Guatemala, our shows break language barriers and invite everyone to step into a world of color and wonder.

Background & career highlights:

Founder, director, lead choreographer, and principal performer at HILT Black Light Theatre, Prague.

Performed for audiences on five continents, from the legendary Bharat Rang Mahotsav festival (India) to the Teatro Nacional (Guatemala).

Featured in international media as “the most surprising black light theatre in Prague” (Prague TV).

HILT’s home stage is in a unique 15th-century underground space—an intimate venue with only 50 seats and a history you can feel in every stone.
