About ECHO
As determined as ever to dazzle us, Cirque du Soleil once again manages to surprise us with a show that combines poetry, performing arts and high-flying acrobatics, exploring the precious balance between humans, animals and the world they share.

Future, the protagonist, invites us into a fantasy world where she meets animal and human characters. Driven by the spirit of collaboration, they join forces to rebuild their planet little by little and create a better world.

ECHO is a show that plunges the audience into a universe of a thousand and one colors, wonders and possibilities on the themes of inventiveness, hope of youth and the importance of empathy.

Environmental initiative in St-Michel
Cirque du Soleil wants to make a positive contribution to the ever-changing world by implementing projects that have a direct impact on the environment and the communities where its shows are performed. For the premiere of ECHO, the leader in live entertainment is proposing a tree-planting initiative in collaboration with a Montreal-based urban forestry company. More than 40 trees will be planted on May 30 in the Saint-Michel district, where the company's head office is located. This measure aims to improve the quality of life of the residents and help the community better manage heat waves and pollution from nearby industrial activities. In addition, all guests of the world premiere received a plantable card allowing them to join the movement for change.
