Le Fantastique
I went to the Le Fantastique Black Light Theatre. Black light theatre is a uniquely Czech artform developed in the 60s. I saw their performance called “Aspects of Alice,” which is loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, though it uses that as a starting point and has a story about Alice coming of age. Live actors (mimes) interact with elements that are manipulated by puppeteers wearing black velvet, with a black background, so that you (generally) don’t see anything but the elements floating in space. The lighting is a combination of black light and tightly controlled spot lighting. Scenic elements are rendered in fluorescent colors (in a wacky 60s style) and different parts of the scenic elements are distinct (such as buildings on a street) so they move and hover and dance into place. It was a great show, especially while having a Single serving coffee for it was really cold out there.
