"High-flying acrobats, insane puppetry and performers clad in weird animal masks so many animal masks, from rams to koalas to parrots you know that Cirque du Soleil is back in town. For its production of Echo, on tour since 2023, the Canadian entertainment troupe has settled on San Francisco's Oracle Park for its wonderment headquarters. How to describe the plot of this surreal show? Well, the heroes seem to be a woman named Future and Dog, her human-canine hybrid companion."
"What is certain is the 125 minute-long Echo provides the thrills people have come to expect from Cirque du Soleil, from tight-rope walking to body-juggling gymnasts to a balancing act that'll give you new respect for the humble cardboard box. The show is produced to the fine detail, designed to awe and given the risky antics of its performers one you hope provides good health-care benefits."
Echo is a Cirque du Soleil production playing under the big top at Oracle Park in San Francisco through Jan. 18, 2026, with tickets starting at $58. The 125-minute performance centers on a woman named Future and her human-canine hybrid companion Dog as they travel through a surreal world of beast-masked performers and extraordinary physical savants. A mysterious central object called The Cube anchors the action and promises a revelation. The show features high-flying acrobatics, tight-rope walking, body-juggling gymnasts, inventive balancing acts and elaborate puppetry, all executed with meticulous production detail.
