Is Black Light Theatre (Ta Fantastika – Aspects of Alice) worth it solo?
DependsSolo
Solo, it depends on the day.
Skip the 'quality varies, do your research' hedge — there is a clear pick. Ta Fantastika's 'Aspects of Alice', running since the 1980s and toured to 30+ countries, is the production that defines the genre: a dreamlike, fly-them-in-mid-air black-light staging loosely on Alice in Wonderland that doubles as an abstract tour of Prague. The catch: it's still a polarising art form — some find it a magical hour, others dated and thin — and the wordless, abstract style is a mood, not a plot. Book Ta Fantastika specifically rather than whatever a street tout is selling, and you get the real, reputable version.
