Enter the World of ECHO

Step into the vibrant world of ECHO, where a curious young woman named FUTURE explores our deep connection with animals and nature. Alongside her loyal friend Ewai the Dog, she discovers a mysterious Cube that reveals how our actions can shape the world around us.

Blending breathtaking acrobatics, rich visuals, and stirring music, ECHO is a fantastical journey through color, emotion, and imagination.

The Acts

The acts are subject to change due to the live nature of the show.
1
Symbiosis – Acro-dance (vertical ballet)

In a mesmerizing opening act of discovery and unity, a troupe of delicate paper animals glide along the surfaces of the Cube. From atop the towering structure to along its vertical edges, the graceful and intricate dance of the paper animals evokes a sense of fragility and interconnectedness among all living beings.

2
Cartographer - Bungee straps

Suspended by the treads of knowledge and enlightenment, the Cartographer is a bright and luminous intellectual. With effortless expression, he writes a new story upon the Cube - not of nature and animals,, but of logic, science and reason. With each strokes and each leap, the Cartographer charts a new course for humankind, guiding us towards uncharted territories of possibility. This fascinating new figure excites Future, but the animals aren't so certain.

3
The Fireflies – Double Hair Suspension

In a moment of quiet beauty, the Fireflies rise into the air, suspended only by their hair. Their gentle flight brings a powerful sense of hope and vulnerability, as they twirl gracefully above the stage. This act, a first in Cirque du Soleil history, glows with emotion and elegance.

4
Extraction and Icarian Games

Two acrobats launch into a dizzying display of flips and rotations, their synchronized movement mimicking the rhythm of a machine. As the energy builds, their bodies become the driving force behind the extraction of boxes from The CUBE, propelling the narrative forward with mechanical intensity and raw momentum.

5
Resist and Express – Banquine and Korean Cradle

The color paper people burst onto the scene in a stunning fusion of banquine and Korean cradle. With FUTURE's encouragement and the ever-pulsing cube, they leap, spin, and catch one another in midair. What begins as chaos transforms into joyful collaboration, as they discover the strength of unity and the importance of play.

6
Double Slackwire

In a tense tableau of double slackwire, two animals teeter on the brink of axtinction. As they traverse a desolate landscapre, each step a testament to their resilience, FUTURE is struck by the fragility of life and their indomitable will to survive. Through their struggles, strengh and grace, she is reminded of the delicate balance that sustainsus all, and sets out on a new mission.

7
The Fossorial's Contortion

The FOSSORIAL puts his flexibility and adaptability on full display in a contortionist act that will leave audiences stunned when the artist dislocates his limbs to maintain his loving embrace with FUTURE and Ewai The Dog.

8
Ewai the dog juggles with love

In an act of love and gratitude, the DOG gets carried away playing catch, and breaks into a fascinating juggling act. That’s when he encounters the FOSSORIAL, who adds several objects to the DOG’s hands, forcing him to get more and more creative with how he juggles it all.

9
Rebuilding on flying poles

Once torn apart by the changes around them, humans and animals cautiously reunite to rebuild the CUBE. Slowly, carefully, they breathe life back into the structure, working together to replace its boxes and rebuild what was lost. Meanwhile, FUTURE inscribes a new vsion for tomorrow.

10
FUTURE and the Washington Trapeze

When FUTURE looks up to see the final missing box flying in the air, she realizes it’s up to her to place the missing piece back into the CUBE. The Washington trapeze descends towards her in a poetic moment, as the animals return to stage to orchestrate her flight.

11
Celebrating Connection on Triple Teeterboards

In a high-flying performance, the paper animals celebrate connection and coexistence through an exhilarating triple teeterboard act. As the playful birds take flight from their teeterboards, they inject a palpable energy into the air, overjoyed by the feeling of togetherness.

FUELED BY THE POWER OF CHANGE

“Cirque du Soleil ECHO is about connecting everybody together, and working together to create the world we want to live in. It’s not just a concept. It’s something I truly believe in.”
