black light theater

So, tonight I went to a Black Light Theater performance. It was called Aspects of Alice, and it was a loose interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. The Black Light Theater is a Czech speciality, and I am not sure that you can find it anywhere else in the world. It is a really cool performance type, and really original. Although the story line was totally tripped out! Talk about creative license. It was not at all like I remember Alice in Wonderland as a kid. The performance is done in a way that makes everything seem...I can't even explain. I am posting a link here where you can go check it out, and look at a video of what it would be like. It is the best way I can think of to tell/show you what it was like.

I would like to point out that even though it seems a bit staged in the video, it really was cool! Every time something floated it literally looked like it was floating in mid-air. And every time Alice flew, I would look for her wires, or the person hooking her up to the wires, and I never saw anything!!! It was really crazy. Also, if you make it to the video on the website, there is some nudity on the back-half of the video, so beware. Also, the show we saw did not contain that nudity in it.
