LOS ANGELES, CA (July 25, 2024) – Cosm, a leading immersive, media, and technology company, last night presented the first-ever Shared Reality production of Cirque du Soleil’s iconic show “O” at Cosm Los Angeles, the company’s first experiential venue which features an 87-foot diameter 12K+ LED dome, located at Hollywood Park. Bridging the virtual and physical worlds, Cosm’s Shared Reality experience merges state-of-the-art visuals with the energy of the crowd and elevated food and beverage service to make fans feel like they have the best seat in the house at the most sought-after events from around the globe.
After 25 years on stage and with over 19 million guests entertained, “O” is solidified as the most successful production in Cirque du Soleil history.

At Cosm Los Angeles, guests are transported to never-before-seen vantage points, surrounded by acrobatics, artistry, and the dreamlike vignettes of the aquatic masterpiece. Every sight, sound, and stunning detail of “O” will envelop the senses as guests experience the awe and wonder of Cirque du Soleil’s first fully digital and immersive experience in Shared Reality.
“As trailblazers in the realm of creativity, Cirque du Soleil thrives on continuously pushing the boundaries of creativity,” stated Melanie Summers, Head of Global Licensing and Location Based Entertainment at Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group. “Cosm’s LED canvas is an entirely new and exciting avenue to amplify unforgettable performances and unlock a new level of immersion that will transport audiences at scale to realms beyond imagination. This collaboration with Cosm demonstrates our desire to diversify our offerings beyond the live stage while leveraging our intellectual property and engaging fans through various platforms.”
“Our collaboration with Cirque du Soleil will unleash a new level of access and immersion for the iconic ‘O’ for both longtime fans and for those who want to experience it in an entirely new way,” added Neil Carty, VP, Head of Cosm Studios at Cosm. “Both Cirque du Soleil and Cosm have been at the forefront of genre-defining entertainment experiences for decades, and we are thrilled to blend our collective innovation, creativity, and technology to deliver a one-of-a-kind theatrical production that will forever change the way fans experience the awe and wonder of performance art.”
