Review: New Cirque show 'Echo' is more than just eye candy
Briefly

Cirque du Soleil's 'Echo' mesmerizes audiences with a blend of stunning visuals and profound themes. The performance is centered around a high-tech 23-foot cube, symbolizing nature's beauty and confinement. The show features exceptional athleticism and creativity from acrobats, juggling, and comedic clowns, delighting both adults and children. Though it may lack a straightforward narrative, 'Echo' invites viewers to reflect and feel, achieving a balance between entertainment and artistic expression. It's a striking example of Cirque du Soleil's continued innovation in circus performance.
The term hair-raising takes on new meaning as two performers contort their bodies high above the stage, connected only by their coiffures.
While the piece is not exactly seamless and the narrative can certainly be elusive, 'Echo' makes you think as well as feel, wonder as well as smile.
