If you’re a fan of wondrous myths and love to watch astounding acrobatic feats, KÀ by Cirque du Soleil is your epic jam. In a gorgeously ornate theater in the MGM Grand, be astounded as the Twins—the heroes of the thrilling extravaganza—venture through an eye-popping land of fantasy and danger as they are challenged by the wicked Counselor, his villainous Son and their sinister army. The show’s astounding action is mesmerizing as it blends world-spanning traditions like Brazilian capoeira and Chinese opera.
As the twin Brother and Sister traverse a mythical, magical landscape, a boat rocks on a stormy sea, arrows fly, spears clash and fireworks dazzle. It’s an unforgettable multimedia spectacle, especially when the show’s famous suspended battlefield rotates vertically in three dimensions—it’s breathtaking to watch characters defy gravity as they float through the air. And there’s plenty of comedy, too, including charming, colorful creatures like a silly turtle, a mischievous starfish and a playful crab. Most of all, from its martial arts exuberance to its whimsical moments, KÀ is an uplifting experience filled with lots of heart and spirit.
MGM Grand, 7 & 9:30 p.m. Sat.-Wed. (dark Feb. 2), 7 p.m. show only Feb. 4, starting at $69 plus tax and fee. 702.531.3826
