If you only see one Cirque show in your life, make it Kà.
Costumes include hand-painted silks and there’s also a fireworks-shooting Catherine Wheel. It blends choreography and theatrical elements from all over the world, including kung fu, Brazilian Capoeira, and Chinese opera. This technical production was the most expensive theatrical production in history when it first opened in 2005. For example, the famous “Wheel of Death”-a human-sized hamster wheel that features a performer running, jumping rope, leaping, somersaulting, and doing other objectively dangerous things while the wheel spins on a rotating arm-is a double wheel in the front with a triple wheel behind it with two performers doing death-defying tricks on them simultaneously. Kà features all the same kind of jaw-dropping acrobatics and aerial feats you expect from a Las Vegas Cirque show with some (extremely dangerous) showstoppers you won’t see anywhere else. It’s a coming-of-age story, a love story, and a hero’s journey story, but what you, the eager audience member, really need to know about this show is that it is basically a sumptuous martial arts epic come to life, and it is truly breathtaking. Here, the story is about two Imperial twins, a brother and sister, who are separated during an attack on the Royal Court and must forge their own paths of self-discovery before reuniting to defeat the attackers. Kà is the only Cirque show in Vegas with a cohesive narrative, which certainly sets it apart from the other productions that are tied together by a loose theme but aren’t really telling a story. If your vibe is MCU meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with a splash of Avatar : Kà
