Toronto: Cirque du Soleil’s new show “ECHO” embarks on a cross-Canada tour starting in Toronto on May 8

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

ECHO, Cirque du Soleil’s 20th original Big Top production, is just one month away from its highly anticipated Toronto debut on May 8, 2024 under the Big Top at 2150 Lake Shore Blvd. W. ECHO, presented by Sun Life, is ready to dazzle audiences with trailblazing elements that set a new bar including a massive 23ft CUBE, visually stunning projections, and a bold new modernistic vision from Author-Director, Mukhtar Omar Sharif Mukhtar (Cirque du Soleil performer turned choreographer and creator).

Packed with vibrant characters, inspiring music, and never-before-seen acrobatic feats, ECHO is a transformative story of connection, intention, and the symbiotic unions between humans and the animal kingdom. ECHO follows an inquisitive young woman FUTURE and her best friend the DOG when they encounter a mysterious CUBE, and quickly learn how their actions have the power to shape this world.

Tickets for ECHO are on sale now, starting at $77. For Toronto dates and show times, visit www.cirquedusoleil.com

Just over a year since its world premiere last spring, ECHO has thrilled audiences across Montreal, Atlanta, Miami, and is set to embark on a cross-Canada tour kicking off in Toronto, ON from May 8 - July 21, under the iconic Big Top.
