Prague Laterna Magika Stage / Magic Lantern Stage

(Local Name: Divadlo bez Zábradlí) The Laterna Magika Stage (Divadlo bez Zábradlí) holds a unique place in the arts community of Prague. The theatre hosts a variety of performances with multi-media shows featuring unique lighting and props, film, live actors, and moving screens which combine to form a one of a kind stage show. Performances are wordless productions of mime and dancing. Consequently these original productions are popular with travelers who would like to take in a performance without having to deal with a language barrier.

Historically the Laterna Magika Stage was associated with Havel, who planned a coup from this venue in 1989. The building was used for a series of debates and discussions with actors and other performers who were on strike, regarding how to best mobilize the population to support their cause. Today, the theatre makes no attempt at political statement.
