Probably the most linearly progressive and easy comprehensive non- English speaking show that bears the Cirque du Soleil badge. That is a bit of a negative to me because I enjoy shows that challenge me to think.
The theater is no doubt stunning, large, surrounded by high tech equipment, the ushers are dressed up in performance attire, but the real jewel is the stage. The stage is an enormous square platform where most of the action happens. The performances that take place on the platform certainly highlight the acrobats of the performers. The story seemed to be heavily influenced by marital arts and probably about 14 acts. Without spoiling the story, Ka is about two twins whom are separated after their palace is raided in which the twins go through adventures finding themselves.
There was one particular scene that amazed me which was when the sister seems to be swimming down the ocean to rescue the nursemaid, but in reality the performer whom play the twin was on a rope against the enormous curtain pretending to swim while the nursemaid is slowly departing into the deep ocean. The swimming was very convincing and my mind was blown, that is all.
If you plan on buying a frozen drink before the show I would advise you to go with the beer. The Ka Peche was super expensive ($14?) and tasted mostly like cheap super sweet peach drink mix. Where was my rum rum rum?
I was a little uncomfortable in my seat because it was jam packed in the theater and I felt as though I was sitting in an airplane (think southwest airlines) with limited leg room.
