Inspirational Moments | KA Theatre

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted, and I have good reasons. As my last post said, I recently went to Las Vegas with Intothedarkroom to attend the WPPI convention, but I also went there as a company trip to see and explore Las Vegas as well as hanging out with the company.

One of the highlights of the trip was attending a Cirque du Soleil show at the MGM Hotel with my employer’s family, and it turned out to be an inspirational show and time I couldn’t forget.

At the MGM Theatre, they were having the Cirque du Soleil show called KÀ. Here’s an excerpt of what it is from their site:

KÀ, the unprecedented, gravity-defying production by Cirque du Soleil takes adventure to an all new level. KÀ is a heroic journey of love and conflict, set within a dynamic theatrical landscape, as an entire empire appears on KÀ’s colossal stage and a captivating display of acrobatics envelops the audience.

On Saturday, I watched the show along with my employer’s family. Before the show we went to get some cheap tickets, and it ended up costing $80 for one ticket (which I still have to owe…I’ll get that soon….). We had lunch at California’s Pizza Kitchen which happened to be my first time eating there, and it was really good.

To get back on topic, I waited in line to get into the show, and some of the attendants there were dressed up and acting in unique characters trying to get the audience involved and on their toes. I found it quite amusing, and then I met up with the family and proceeded into the theatre.

The first thing I noticed was the iron steampunk-like architecture that was near the walls of the theatre. In addition, there was a cloud of smoke in the center of a stage with an occasional flame bursting into the air. From there, I was saying to myself that this isn’t going to be some regular Nutcracker play that I saw during grade school.

During the whole show, the stage shifted and transformed into different landscapes and the acrobatics and martial arts of the actors were phenomenal. The tempo of the music, and the lighting of the scene all played along with the mood of the current situation of the play. It was an amazing show that inspired me to want to like plays as a whole and to also look beyond regular movies and tv shows for entertainment.

If you’re in Las Vegas, or any places that premieres Cirque du Soleil’s shows, I highly recommend spending some money to see it. It’s a show you won’t forget for a long time, and a show that’s worth the money. Below is a trailer of it, and thanks for visiting my blog. I’ll make some frequent updates once I get back into schedule. Daylight Savings Time is still hitting me, even though it doesn’t affect Arizona.
