Kà (2.5/5)

The stars of this show are the giant moving stages gyrating on all axis, an astounding piece of electro-mechanical engineering.  The gymnastic cast perform ably, at times amazingly - the dramatic Final Battle performed with actors horizontal to a vertical stage.  Yet Kà is dated, the weak narrative disappointing for a Lepage show and not enough is made of the dramatic potential of sound and lighting effects.  A once ground-breaking show past it's prime.
