Nov. 14, 2019, Luxor Hotel and Casino
hosted the world premiere of the Strip's newest production, R.U.N –
the first live-action thriller produced by Cirque du Soleil.
The new show is a living, breathing graphic novel that's non-stop
tire-peeling, fist-flinging and double-crossing action including
combat stunts, fast-paced car chases, cutting-edge technology and
innovative multimedia. Audience members were greeted with immersive
sensory experiences throughout the evening, starting from the
moment they entered the lobby. The gritty, graphic novel-inspired
production showcased human performance and special effects from
chapter to chapter, as told by brave and fearless characters.
