Laterna magika

Laterna magika stages theatrical shows that blend live performance, dance, film projection, visual effects, music and multimedia technology, creating imaginative productions in which movement and visual storytelling take precedence over spoken dialogue. The shows are generally wordless, using mime and black-light theatre techniques, allowing international audiences to enjoy the stories without any language barrier. The New Stage building, designed specifically for Laterna magika, stands out for its glass façade of over four thousand panels forming a distinctive sculptural relief next to the National Theatre.
