It is the first theater of its kind in the world. The public was able to see the company for the first time in the summer of 1961 at the Edinburgh International Festival. The success there was unprecedented.
In the practice of the Black Theater in Prague, the actors dressed in black seem invisible to the spectators thanks to the also black background, the artists thus dressed with their mastery for the performance make the objects acquire movements and a certain particular life. The effect of the trick has its reason because it serves as an instrument to achieve an expression of ideas, senses and a development of fantasy and imagination.
The group communicates with their viewers only through music, gestures and dance using their specific technique without words. All the shows of the Black Theater of Prague are therefore universal and understood by all audiences. All the presentations of the Black Theater in Prague try to awaken the spectator and take him from contemplation to fantasy.
