Fascinating Facts About Cirque du Soleil ECHO

• Several of ECHO’s cast and crew have been involved in other Cirque productions, including Volta, MJ ONE, OVO, and more.
• Even the Author-Director was originally an artist in The Beatles LOVE.

• Cirque du Soleil ECHO is the first ever Cirque du Soleil show to feature 6 live vocalists who also play instruments.
• Cirque du Soleil ECHO pushes the technical envelope for a Big Top with 5 acrobatic winches and 3 double lines that support 2 artists each.

• It takes 10 projectors to cover the entire stage and the rotating CUBE–the most ever for a Cirque du Soleil Big Top show.
• Each projector tracks a single zone of the stage, and crossfades between zones as the CUBE moves and rotates.
• To ensure so many projectors could meet the mobility demands of a traveling show, Cirque technical teams had to design a special self-standing infrastructure just for this equipment.

• The mysterious CUBE is essentially the size of a 2-story apartment building that can rotate on the central pivot, moving from upstage to downstage, and even floating above stage.
• At one of the most surprising points in the show, one of the CUBE’s walls supports 40 artists.
• The roof of the CUBE contains a lightbox with 2.7 kilometers of LED strips.
