''Kà'' is a show by Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. ''Kà'' describes the story as "the coming of age of a young man and a young woman through their encounters with love, conflict and the duality of ''Kà'', the fire that can unite or separate, destroy or illuminate." ''Kà'' features 80 artists from around the world, and is a gravity-defying production featuring a powerfully emotive soundtrack that enhances the innovative blend of acrobatic feats, Capoeira dance, puppetry, projections and martial arts. In its review, the ''Los Angeles Times'' stated it "may well be the most lavish production in the history of Western theater. It is surely the most technologically advanced."〔Mark Swed, (Epic, extravagant ), ''Los Angeles Times'', February 5, 2005, Accessed December 21, 2010.〕 The ''New York Times'' highly praised all the technical aspects and costumes, but felt that it did not succeed in a particularly compelling story, rather it was "essentially about the kind of wild physical feats that all Cirque shows are about, their jaw-dropping effect multiplied by the huge dimensions of the theatrical space."〔Charles Isherwood, (Fire, Acrobatics and Most of All, Hydraulics ), ''The New York Times'', February 5, 2005, Accessed December 21, 2010.〕 The show has been seen by more than one million spectators since its opening in October 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cirque du Soleil - Press Room - Resident Shows - KÀ - About the show )〕 ==History== Created and directed by Robert Lepage, ''Kà'' began show previews in November 26, 2004 and the show premiered on February 3, 2005. Kà was the first Cirque du Soleil show to encompass a cohesive story line. The show's title, Kà, is inspired by the ancient Egyptian belief in the "Kà," an invisible spiritual duplicate of the body that accompanies every human being throughout this life and into the next. ''Kà'' is the first Cirque du Soleil production that deviates from the company's usual format—the production presents a more straightforward story, unlike the more abstract visuals presented by other Cirque productions. The show and the theater cost $165 million to develop. Other milestones, rewards and recognitions ''Kà'' has received: *Kà performs for Robert Lepage who receives the Tenth Glenn Gould Prize, 2014 *Kà celebrates 4,000 shows, 2013 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kà」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
