Seven performers from the resident production of Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ, at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, will participate in the 2011 Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade in New York City on Sunday, February 6. The parade will kick off at 1pm, with the KÀ performance to be held at Sarah Roosevelt Park (near Grand & Forsyth streets) at approximately 2:30pm.
Created and directed by Robert Lepage, KÀ is a gravity-defying production featuring an innovative blend of high-flying feats, puppetry, projections and martial arts.
The show’s central characters — the Imperial Twins — will also march in the parade. The four-minute performance will feature a combination of martial arts including Wushu, Chinese Opera and Capoeira.
