KÀ by Cirque du Soleil is an unprecedented theatrical event. A masterpiece in storytelling, KÀ uses acrobatic performances, the thrills and action of martial arts techniques from all over the world, plus innovations in puppetry and multimedia to tell the epic tale of twins on a perilous journey to fulfill their shared destiny.

Along the way, the twins confront characters and events representing the opposing forces of good and evil. Before their world comes under attack and collapses around them, the twins receive a magical talisman for protection. As the plot unfolds, danger lies in wait for them at every turn.

KÀ, the unprecedented, gravity-defying production by Cirque du Soleil takes adventure to an all new level.  Be awed by a dynamic theatrical landscape, as an entire empire appears on KÀ’s colossal stage and a captivating display of aerial acrobatics envelopes the audience. Only at MGM Grand, Las Vegas. 

The show's creative elements are essential to invoking the world of KÀ. The costumes for the international cast of 72 artists have an Asian influence, as reflected in the lavish imperial court costumes and robust martial artists' warrior uniforms. Additionally, the mood is set by the original score, which incorporates soaring melodies and richly textured arrangements driven through an elaborate audio system that literally surrounds the spectator in sound.

Another important element is the ambivalent power of fire to create and destroy. 'Fire is the one thing that holds everything together,' says Lepage. 'It's the storyline and the saga. It creates conflict and destruction as it gives life and light.'

The show will combine acrobatics, martial arts, puppetry, video, pyrotechnics, and other unannounced special effects. 'KÀ' carries a total price tag of $165 million: $30 million for the production, the other $135 million invested in building the theater that will house the show.

The title derives from the Egyptian concept of each human's spiritual 'double.' Guy Caron, Cirque du Soleil's director of creation, said the word is the root of many disciplines incorporated into the show, such as kabuki, karate and the Brazilian martial art capoeira.
