OLD TOWN

If you call yourself a true historical lover, then listen up now! Have you already visited Old Town Square in Prague? This square draws the greatest number of visitors in Prague as it boasts meticulously preserved buildings and monuments – such as the Church of Our Lady in front of Tyn, The Old Town City Hall, and the Baroque church St. Nicolas. One building that truly dominates the square is the Old Town City Hall, which dates to 1338. In 1410 the astronomical clock was added to the Hall with a chronometer and the zodiac below; this clock is a worldwide attraction. With its ancient buildings and magnificent churches, the Old Town is one of the most beautiful historical places in Europe. The Old Town Square dates from the 12th century and started life as the central marketplace for Prague. Over the centuries buildings of Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic styles were erected around the market, each bringing with them stories of wealthy merchants and political intrigue. At the center of the Old Town Square is the Jan Hus statue, erected on the 6th July 1915 to mark the 500th anniversary of the reformer’s death. The groundswell of support for his beliefs during the 14th and 15th centuries led to the Hussite wars.

The basic effort that shapes Laterna magica to this day is the search for ways to the synthetic theatre, which is able to tell a story using a variety of means, especially through multimedia projection in combination with the work of live performers on stage. The basic principle, the interactive connection of film projection with movement and acting, was gradually supplemented by new technologies, such as digital projection or new media, including real-time programmable software. In the productions of Laterna magica, genres have been connected from the very beginning: from dramatic acting, through the privileged position of dance and ballet, to pantomime and black theatre. It is also a characteristic feature that the productions created for Laterna magica are always original works – how could you possibly miss this opportunity?
