 Welcome
to the MGM Grand and the next innovative triumph of Cirque
du Soleil; KA, a unique theatrical extravaganza with martial
arts, puppetry, multi-media and out of this acrobatics. With
the usual or really the unusual descriptive storytelling of
the Cirque, this incredible story is about a set of twins, a
girl and boy, in the midst of a celebration when their
palace is attacked by evil soldiers; separated by the
events, they are left to find each other and gain their home
back. Intent on fulfilling their destinies by a dangerous
journey, these twins must face the world as individuals in
order to gain their sibling back. As they progress, the
twins encounter events and characters representing the good
and evil loose in the world. One scene takes place in a
jungle where the sister encounters strange creatures that
ascend and descent with flips, jumps and other ways from
vines on the trees. Magically the setting changes into the
stronghold of the mad ruler and his evil soldiers with the
lush tropical jungle gone in a second and the dark,
mysterious stage becomes the lair. As their world becomes a
victim to the evil and is destroyed, they acquire a magic
amulet that will protect them from the evil forces in this
world. As the story unfolds further, perils await them all
around. Upon entering the theater, you will be intrigued by
the enormous pillars that line the walls with tribal
warriors posted on the top; what makes these figures more
startling is that bungee cords are attached and they swoop
to the floor with the grace of birds and then retrace their
moves back to the tops. Certainly awesome and inspiring as
these deft creatures can move perpendicular with the
greatest of each and agility. In the final scenes, the stage
once again magically goes into a battlefield with the twins
fighting to regain their homeland. Running and fighting on
the vertical side of the stage, these acrobats amaze the
audience with incredible agility and maneuvers. Upon winning
the battle, fireworks, dancing and music permeates the
theater bringing the whole story to a crashing crescendo.
With great pomp and pageantry, Cirque du Soleil produces
another cinematic event of colossal magnitude live and
surreal guiding you through a story more so than any other
masterful production. It is the fourth such endeavor after
Mystere, Love, Zumanity and O. It is the most spectacular
creation ever performed onstage, with all the flowery
puppetry, explosive pyrotechnics, worldwide martial arts and
acrobatic skills that have endeared this phenomenon all over
the world. Using the visual language of the stage more so
than any other production, KA continuously keeps your
attention with the marvelous feats of acrobats, martial arts
and colorful creations. It is a huge show and for anyone
that has seen a Cirque du Soleil show will absolutely want
to enjoy this one. With great indulgence, the scenery, and
it is majestic, seems to wrap itself around the theater with
you inside; actually making it seem like you are a part of
the entire show. The drama increases as performers arrive
into the show from various vantage points which you don't
realize until they appear; as if by magic. Sometimes you
will be startled as an actor comes up near you and they are
carrying a bow and arrow, preparing for some great war
battle.
As is usual with the Cirque, there is little if any
dialogue, just a short narrative before the beginning to
bring you into the plot. After that, only the magnificent
performance and brilliant special effects unfold the
dramatic story. One of the most magical effects is the
changing scene of the stage, as it metamorphs before your
eyes and senses from a violent sea, floating barge, snowy
mountain, beach and other exotic landscapes.
