Las Vegas Attractions
Description
Venue: MGM Grand Hotel & Casino When: Daily; not Mon or Sun
It could only happen in Las Vegas. Canadian circus exponents extraordinaire Cirque du Soleil, who already present three shows in the oasis of entertainment in the midst of Nevada's desert, teamed up in 2005 with fellow Canadian theatrical whizz kid Robert Lepage to create a new show at the MGM Grand. KÀ explores fire's potential to create and destroy, and follows two twins in a pseudo-mythological trip accompanied by a typical Cirque du Soleil wall-to-wall soundtrack, here by René Dupéré.
Robert Lepage has been touring the world with his own individual stage creations for 20 years - he went on from creating KÀ to stage Lorin Maazel's opera 1984 at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, revive his first major hit The Dragon Trilogy and première his latest work The Andersen Project (commemorating Hans Christian Andersen's 200th birthday in 2005), before touring it across at least three continents.
KÀ, meanwhile, will probably only ever be seen in Las Vegas, given its size and complexity. Follow the two twins whose fate is to be separated, while each have to face various trials before the final battle, through which peace eventually is given a chance...
More story-based than Cirque du Soleil's other shows, KÀ sports a typically large and talented cast, including puppeteers, acrobats, trapeze artists, all coupled with state-of-the-art stage machinery. What would Shakespeare say?
KÀ joins three other Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas - Mystère, waterborne O and the adult cabaret, Zumanity.
