Cirque du Soleil offers visitors and locals an inside look at “KÀ” as it reveals the astounding history, background, and science behind one of the most fascinating theatrical venues in Las Vegas.

The complimentary open house takes place at the KÀ Theatre inside MGM Grand every Tuesday from 11 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Guests of all ages are welcome to attend.

"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." 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." The show has been seen by more than one million spectators since its opening in October 2004.

Created and directed by Robert Lepage, Kà began show previews on November 26, 2004, and the show premiered on February 3, 2005. Kà was the first Cirque du Soleil show to encompass a cohesive storyline. 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
