KÀ by Cirque du Soleil App Now Available on the App Store

Cirque du Soleil, the international entertainment organization, today announced the availability of its KÀ app on iPad.  

Mobile Roadie, a leading global app platform, powers the technology for the KÀ app that features exclusive content from the Cirque du Soleil production KÀ at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Just as the KÀ Theatre represents a technical milestone for Cirque du Soleil, the task set for Mobile Roadie was to bring that show to a tech savvy crowd by creating their first ever iPad app.

“KÀ represents a perfect blend of technological achievement and human ability,” said Jordan Fiksenbaum, Vice President of Marketing & PR for Cirque du Soleil Resident Shows Division. “It made perfect sense for us to bridge that same gap with a KÀ app combining new technology and imagination.”

“Cirque du Soleil is an incredible brand to work with and the vibrancy and energy of the KÀ show is a perfect reflection of our dynamic mobile app platform,” said Michael Schneider, CEO, Mobile Roadie. “We couldn’t think of a better partner to launch our first ever iPad app with.”

The KÀ iPad app features include:
