Cirque Du Soleil ECHO
Cirque du Soleil ECHO, its newest big top creation, is performing through August 4th, 2024. Packed with vibrant characters, inspiring music, astounding lights and projections, and never-before-seen acrobatics, ECHO brings audiences on a journey through a universe of color, wonder, and infinite possibilities. After opening with a sensational premiere run in Montreal, selling over 280,000 tickets, it is Toronto’s turns to enjoy all the magic the new Cirque du Soleil show has to offer – and all of which through its signature VIP experience.
ONE-OF-A-KIND EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR GROUP
At Cirque du Soleil, dazzling patrons goes beyond the show – it starts from the moment you walk through the gates. Whether you are looking for an event to celebrate with your team, highlight the loyalty of a long-term client relationship or plan an unforgettable date – our dedicated team can assist you in the creation of a one-of-a-kind experience that will surprise you and your guests. From its beginning, Cirque always looked at ways to redefine circus arts and we see the planning of your event as a way to enhance your experience.
“Our VIP space can be adapted for tailored events and accommodate small to larger groups, starting when you step on our beautiful site,” said Duncan Fisher, President of the Touring Shows Division at Cirque du Soleil.
Watching a Cirque du Soleil performance creates excitement and anyone that has watched a performance will tell you – you must see it to believe it. But the “wow factor” begins with our customer experience. Cirque will provide the resources you need to design the VIP experience you want your guests to have. Our dedicated staff are experts in curating a bespoke experience, replete with signature cocktails, food prepared by our in-house chef, and unparalleled service. Additionally, Cirque can provide equipment and the technology you need to make a speech or corporate presentation. The Cirque du Soleil VIP lounge is immersive from the decor and music to the food and drinks chosen to draw the attendees into the world of ECHO. The experience also includes visits from cast members and opportunities for selfies which helps bring the show off the stage and into the VIP area.
“The VIP lounge is an extension of what guests are experiencing on the stage,” explains Duncan Fisher. “As soon as guests enter the Big Top, they are surrounded by live entertainment. The VIP lounge further extends that.”
A VIP Experience Like No Other
We all want to live and experience unique moments to create fond memories, and Cirque knows how to entertain a crowd, especially when it comes to its VIP experience. The redesigned VIP tent can welcome your organization, partners and employees inside an airconditioned lounge space to celebrate, treat and delight your guests.
“There is no experience that replaces seeing and collaborating with your colleagues, partners, friends or loved ones (and showing them) how much they mean to you than by hosting an inperson event for them,” said Fisher.
The VIP experience will also allow you to taste locally-sourced food prepared by the Cirque touring chef, strike a pose with our artists in a beautiful setting, access the best seating which takes you close to the action, and inspire your team creatively in many ways.
The Latest Big Top Creation
Cirque du Soleil brings modern and surprising twists under the Big Top with ECHO, a story of connection, intention, and the sacred bond between humans and the animal kingdom. When FUTURE (the protagonist) and her best friend the DOG stumble upon an enigmatic CUBE, they set in motion a journey of life, discovery, hope, and empathy, quickly learning how their actions have the power to shape this world.
As Author-Director Mukhtar Omar Sharif Mukhtar says, “I think it’s important when people come to ECHO to be blown away by the performances and acrobatics, and at the same time, I want them to leave feeling empowered.”
“It’s incredible to watch our performers accomplish such amazing acrobatic feats,” added Duncan Fisher. “The Big Top offers such an intimate setting that we immediately feel immersed into the world of ‘ECHO.’”
