=== 공연 소개 ===
"인생에 한번은 꼭 봐야 할 세기의 쇼"

라스베가스 3대 쇼 중 O쇼를 제치고, 연일 매진과 1위를 자랑했던 윈(Wynn) 호텔에서 공연한 르레브(Le Reve)를 기억하시나요 ?

이 르레브를 종연하고 2022년 11월부터 새롭게 Wynn 호텔에서 시작된 어웨이크닝 쇼(Awakening)는 현재 라스베가스에서 가장 HOT한 쇼 중에 하나입니다.
영화 '양들의 침묵'과 '한니발'로 유명한 앤서니 홉킨스(Anthony Hopkins)가 내레이션을 하며, Awakening의 여주인공과 두 친구가 세상의 아름다움을 되찾기 위한 마법의 세계 탐험에 관객들을 초대합니다. Awakening 쇼를 위해 설계된 원형 360도 극장에서 배우들과 함께 여행하며 한번도 본 적 없는 세계를 경험하세요 ! 그 길을 따라 바다 아래에서 하늘 위까지 그들이 통과하는 세계에 빠져들 것입니다. 5년 이상의 기간과 1억 2천만 달러 이상의 비용으로 제작된 현대 신화와 마법같은 스토리의 극적인 안무와 기술, 그리고 독창적인 음악을 표현하기 위해 고안된 최첨단 서라운드 사운드 시스템이 장착된 객석의 조화로 화려한 의상, 우아한 곡예, 독창적인 음악을 동시에 경험하며 공연 속에 빠져드는 느낌을 받으실 수 있습니다.

이 쇼는 세계적으로 유명하고 뛰어난 창의적인 인재들이 연출하였습니다. 브로드웨이 "라이온킹"의 감독 마이클 커리, 최고의 유명 스타일리스트 소윤 안, 거장 마술사 폴 키브 등이 바로 그들입니다.

=== SYNOPSIS ===
Two of the great forces of nature, Darkness and Light, once lived and loved in perfect harmony in a magical world, brought together by the Great Phoenix. But as punishment for defying the laws of nature, they have been cruelly separated. Darkness banished. Light shattered and flung across three realms - mere fragments of what he once was.

Now, bitter and alone, Darkness has begun to spread, threatening the very existence of all who dwell among the realms.

But a quest will soon be underway led by one reluctant hero, IO, and her two fellow travelers, Boo and Bandit.

The fate of all hangs in the balance as this unlikely trio begin their journey to collect the pieces of Light and attempt to reunite him with the formidable Darkness - though both have lost all memory of each other and the love they once shared.

What secrets will be learned along the way, what dark and magnificent creatures will they encounter, what magic will be unleashed to both entrance and entrap them ? And what are the chances of redemption ?

Join the journey now as Awakening begins.

FIRE REALM
Amid the Phoenix tribe of the Fire Realm, a hero is reveled:
IO, who is tasked with traveling to the Water, Earth, and Air Realms with her fellow travelers, Bandit and Boo, to retrieve the crystal shards that will make Light whole again and restore harmony to the world.

The BLACK and WHITE BALL
After sneaking into Darkness's grand gala, IO, Bandit, and Boo steal her most prized possession - the orb from her scepter - and armed with her source of power, they depart for the Water Realm.

WATER REALM
Transfixed by the Water Realm's bright coral and colorful creatures, IO is captured and must use the orb to escape with one of the crystal shards needed to restore Light to his whole self.

EARTH REALM
A pair of beautiful Nymphs greet IO, Bandit, and Boo in the Earth Realm, but the vengeful Darkness has set a trap and also awaits the trio - just as IO believes all is lost, Light magically appears, manifesting himself from the surrounding nature, and gifts IO with the second crystal.

AIR REALM
In this realm of intoxicating, seductive elements, IO becomes entranced and considers abandoning her quest to remain amid these pleasures, until the Fire Realm's leader appears, setting IO once again upon her destined path with the third and final crystal.

REVELATION
Having gathered the three crystals, IO is finally told why she was chosen for this extraordinary quest, and with a new understanding of Darkness's inner anguish, IO and her counterparts depart for their final and greatest challenge.
