Cirque: Let There Be Light

This is either going to be really cool, or really horrific. It certainly mixes the two top elements of 21st century Las Vegas: Cirque du Soleil and EDM. Whether that’s a good thing, or twice the evil, depends on your cup of tea — or should I say choice of poison.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL, MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL & THE LIGHT GROUP PRESENT… LIGHT, LAS VEGAS

A NIGHTCLUB… AN EXPERIENCE…
AFTER DARK…THERE IS LIGHT

Returning to its roots with an eponymous nightlife venue known for revolutionizing the Las Vegas nightlife experience more than 10 years ago, The Light Group–in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil and MGM Resorts International–will introduce LIGHT at Mandalay Bay in March 2013.  View the trailer at: http://youtu.be/UpVaxB52xnY.

Before there was cinema, there was the circus. During the 19th century, PT Barnum created the Greatest Show on Earth, stretching the public’s understandings of human achievement with acrobats and freaks, and of course, entertaining them with clowns. Then the advent of moving image and sound took the senses and imagination into even wilder terrains. Live theater, including circuses, have never had the same lustre.
