History of Visuals


{Original Visual}

After staging preview performances since November 26, 2004, Cirque du Soleil officially premiered its fourth resident show in a casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip on February 3, 2005. Joining the ranks of Mystère at T.I., “O” at Bellagio and Zumanity at the New York, New York Cirque du Soleil's newest creation, entitled KÀ, is housed at the MGM Grand. KÀ is Cirque du Soleil's biggest and most ambitious production to date, both in terms of physical size and budget.

Directed by Canadian theatre and film vanguard Robert Lepage, and ringing in with a purported price tag of $220 million USD, an alleged weekly running cost of $1 million USD, a cast of 75-80 performers and a crew of 158 stage technicians, KÀ aims to reinvent and revolutionize the world of live theatre and in many ways the Cirque du Soleil itself.

KÀ deals with the theme of duality and is the epic story of a set of twins, separated at childhood, who must voyage through a series of adventures, while relentlessly pursued by enemies, in order to fulfill their destinies in a classic battle between good and evil.

The characters of KÀ inhabit a world of many tribes and factions. These tribes are largely segregated from each other and some tribes are in conflict with others. The story of KÀ brings together the different peoples of this world to meet their collective destiny.
