KA!

The first night in Las Vegas we saw KA, a production by Cirque du Soleil. The show was absolutely mezmerising.



This is one of 5 different Cirque du Soleil productions running concurrently in Las Vegas. Because it is a permanent show at the MGM Grand Casino, the auditorium and stage were purpose built for the show. The stage extended out to the sides of the main seating area as shown below and the stage was made up of a number of huge moving and rotating platforms. The main platform could be lifted, lowered below the main level, rotated perpendicular to the ground and spun around 360 degrees...and the way they coreographed all the sequences and action around these dynamic stages was amazing. I havent even mentioned the amazing trapeze and athletic feats of the artists in the show. Definately worth travelling to Las Vegas even just for the shows!
