Prague is a town vowen with legends and myths, some of which get introduced by our new multimedia show: e.g. that about the most famous inhabitants of the Faust´s House – Faust and the English alchymist Edward Kelley; that about Chanina, the daughter of a Jewish merchant, who refuses bridegrooms offered her and, lead with love of a mysterious Lord of the River Vltava, steps into the river and uses to come back on the roofs just in the shape of a green cat; that about secret meeetings of the Emperor Rudolf II. with the philosopher and mystic as well as a great personality of the Jewish culture in Prague – Rabbi Löw and his homunculus Golem; and last but nost least about the legend connected with the construction of the Astronomical Clock of the Old Town.
The new project of Laterna Magica comes out from the performance of the Black Light Theatre of Jiří Srnec which was being staged during the nineties (Ahasver, Timewalker, The Prague Walker). Now, it is its principal adaptation for Laterna Magica with a new music and choreography. With this new performance, we will commemorate the 80th birthday of Jiří Srnec, not only one of the significant creators of Laterna Magica but mainly the founder and artistic director of the Jiří Srnec´s Black Light Theatre – “a little theatre of big miracles“.
