Information on Cirque du Soleil's "Ka" |
For 20 years, Cirque du Soleil has been treating audiences to their contemporary take on the circus…an artistic mix of acrobatics and performance. Now, after a 220-million dollar renovation of the MGM Grand Theater, lucky audiences in Las Vegas are getting a first look at the latest Cirque creation, complete with floating stages and fireworks! It's called "KA!" To unveil their most ambitious production yet, Cirque du Soleil threw a massive premiere gala. Our own Lou Canellis got a behind-the-scenes tour…and a prime spot along the red carpet!
