Discover the beauty and grandeur of KAOS
MANILA, Philippines - In a medieval kingdom, a lonely prince peers into a magical mirror and falls in love with a beautiful maiden from the future. As the past and the future converge, the two discover a love that transcends time, prevailing over a scheming adviser and numerous obstacles.
This at a glimpse is the story of KAOS, a visual and musical spectacle unlike anything the country has ever seen.
KAOS is Resorts World Manila’s first exclusive production and was conceptualized with international audiences in mind. The story, a timeless tale of love, is an engaging experience for the whole family. But what truly sets it apart is the combination of internationally acclaimed acts that it weaves seamlessly together in one show.
KAOS features celebrated stage thespians in the leading roles. Livewire singer and theater actor Gian Magdangal plays the valiant prince, half-Pinay Canadian Idol standout Martha Joy takes on the part of the heroine, while versatile veteran performer Joel Trinidad dons the role of the scheming adviser.
The three lead a strong cast sure to captivate audiences with their performances of original songs specially created for the show, with no less than the Manila Symphony Orchestra providing the musical score. Half of the cast comes from different areas of the globe, while the other half is composed of the most talented Filipino stage performers.
Central to the story is none other than the title character, Kaos, who happens to be a real and rare white lion.
Kaos is part of the menagerie of world-renowned animal performers specially trained by Spanish master illusionist Enrique Polo, who’s also part of the show along with his lions and tigers.
Breathtaking acrobats from China, and the Power Duo, a world-renowned act from Belarus, test the limits of physical endurance with their riveting performances.
Stunt motorcyclists from Spain defy gravity in the astounding Cycle of Life, while the Human Time Machine performers from South America showcase superb balance and synchronization. Hip Hop dance champions Philippine All Stars energize the show with their winning moves.
Behind KAOS is a world-class production team. Andrew Botha from South Africa designed the magnificent set pieces, while seasoned costume designer Liudmila Karpinka brought to life elaborate and beautifully detailed medieval and futuristic costumes for the story. Veterans of various Star Cruises productions, Khmelnytsky Oleksandr and Donchanka Nataliya collaborated on the amazing choreography.
Resorts World Manila’s vice president for entertainment Colin Kerr leads the show as executive producer, with Sviatlana Burkun as production manager.
Audiences will be able to catch KAOS up to six times weekly at the 1,500-seat Newport Performing Arts Theater, which boasts of the largest LED wall ever built in the Philippines, as well as state-of-the-art light and sound technology.
