KÁ™ at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino for Cirque du Soleil

The renovated MGM Grand Theatre features the production KÀ, Cirque du Soleil’s fourth permanent venue in Las Vegas. Rather than on a traditional stage, the show takes place within a 50 foot deep cavity filled with moving scenic elements. The performance extends beyond the stage into the audience volume, creating total integration of audience, performers and theatrical technology, challenging the limits of stage design.
