A Mythical Adventure Inside a 360-Degree Theater
Awakening is a large-scale fantasy production combining acrobatics, aerial performance, dance, illusions, music, puppetry, elaborate costumes, and immersive visual effects.
The story follows IO, a reluctant heroine who travels through mythical realms on a quest to reunite Light and Darkness. Narration by Anthony Hopkins helps guide the story while performers and large-scale creatures move across the theater’s circular stage.
The production plays inside the custom-built Awakening Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. Seating surrounds the performance space, placing the action in the center of the room rather than behind a traditional proscenium stage.
Guests comparing visually ambitious Las Vegas production shows may find Awakening especially appealing for its combination of fantasy storytelling, athletic performers, advanced theater technology, and relatively concise runtime.
