World THEATRE OLYMPICS 2018, from TIMES INDIA about PHANTOM:
Stage LIGHTS ARE CRUCIAL FOR THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES, ask any artist
and they will tell you. However, Prague's The HILT BLACK LIGHT THEATRE
GROUP PROVED THIS AGE-old notion wrong when they gave a flawless
performance on a pitch dark stage at the Slovakian embassy on
Saturday.
Prague is a recognised centre for BLACK LIGHT THEATRE. The group,
however, brought modern influences to the long-established art form
and used UV LIGHTING AND OTHER TECHNIQUES. The show, called 'PHANTOM',
showed different acts of a PHANTOM. It also depicted different stages
of love.
Talking about the performance, Theodor Hoidekr, director of the show,
said, "We have used projections to make it look more interesting. We
tried to show different emotions like love, hatred, anger in our
performance. We have been performing PHANTOM FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS AND
IT IS OUR BEST ACT."
Vijay Jolly, BJP leader, who was present at the event, said, "It was a
superb performance and more than that, it was a great way to connect
India to the Czech Republic and Slovakia. These performances not only
renew the bond of friendship but also promote cultures of the two
countries."
Milan Hovorka, ambassador, Czech Republic, added, "We wanted to send
the message of friendship and we wanted to get this message across
Slovakia. That’s why we organised this event together. Through
today’s performance, we also wanted to develop friendly relations
with India. This isn’t the only performance that the group will give
in India.They will also perform at the Kamani Auditorium as part of
the Eighth Theatre Olympics that are being held in India."
