From Theodor Hoidekr (author & director): I wrote the song on our motto — “You have to enter the darkness to see the light.” It’s true on stage and in life. The clip alternates black-and-white moments of me at the microphone and at the editor (the everyday making of), with the film’s heart: colourful dance sequences by the HILT ensemble in full black light theatre mode. The groove stays simple and melodic — music made to be danced to by every generation.

For over half a century, Prague has been home to a unique art form that blends illusion, dance, and silent poetry— black light theatre. But where did this world-famous phenomenon begin? And how did a small group of Czech artists turn the darkness into a magical stage that’s captivated audiences on every continent?
