Audiences will be plunged into a sensory experience where
special effects collide with human performance, pushing viewers to
the edge of their seats. Chapter by chapter, guests will be taken
through a gritty, cinematic story featuring bold, rebellious and
fearless characters. The show will follow two clans in an
adrenaline-filled adventure where a striking bride leads a series
of fast-paced chases, combat and stunts through the fictional dark
underground of Las Vegas.
Daniel Lamarre, President and CEO
of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, said, "R.U.N is
very different from the other shows within the Cirque du Soleil
portfolio. With R.U.N, we will reinvent the concept of a
thriller, drawing inspiration from action movies and graphic
novels. This action-packed live performance happening in
front of and around the audience, will offer a new form of
entertainment to a more diversified Las
Vegas guest. We are really excited to bring this unique and
edgy concept to Luxor."
An innovative and distinctive show that will push the limits of
a live entertainment experience, R.U.N is the
10th partnership between Cirque du Soleil and MGM
Resorts International.
"Throughout MGM Resorts' more than 25-year relationship with the
creative geniuses at Cirque du Soleil, we have watched them deliver
spectacle after spectacle, wowing guests from around the world and
giving them new reasons to visit," said George Kliavkoff, MGM
Resorts' President of Entertainment & Sports. "This fall, the
launch of R.U.N at Luxor, a show that represents a complete
departure from anything Cirque du Soleil has created before, will
mark a new and exciting phase of this very successful
partnership."
