Associated Press A photograph of the Cirque du Soleil performer Sarah Guillot-Guyard, who was killed in an accident at a performance.Cirque du Soleil said that it would resume performances of a Las Vegas show in which one of its acrobats was killed last month but that it would omit the closing scene in which she died.
Renee-Claude Menard, a spokeswoman for Cirque du Soleil, told The Associated Press that performances of “Ka,†a show presented at the MGM Grand hotel, would resume on Tuesday night, about two weeks after the death of Sarah Guillot-Guyard.
Ms. Guillot-Guyard, a trained aerialist and acrobat, died on June 29 after falling about 90 feet during a performance. The local authorities ruled that her death was accidental. A further investigation by Nevada’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration could still take several more months to complete.
Ms. Menard told The A.P. that the closing aerial battle scene of “Ka,†during which Ms. Guillot-Guyard sustained her accident, will be replaced with a “dressing-ritual†scene. Tuesday evening’s performance of “Ka†will be dedicated to Ms. Guillot-Guyard, she said.
