Cirque du Soleil is returning to North Texas in April with its latest touring show, ECHO—a story of “connection, intention, and the symbiotic unions between humans and the animal kingdom.”
The show—which centers on the fantasy world of a mysterious “cube”— will be presented April 9 to May 9 under the big top at Lone Star Park, 1000 Lone Star Parkway in Grand Prairie.

Producers say the show is “fueled by the power of change, the hope of the youth, and the value of empathy.” It follows an inquisitive young woman named FUTURE as she wanders into a fantasy world that explores our sacred bond with animals and nature.
When FUTURE and her best friend the DOG encounter a mysterious cube, “they quickly learn how their actions have the power to shape this world, and if we come together, we can create the world we all want to live in,” Cirque du Soleil added.

‘Never-before-seen acrobatic feats’
ECHO clocks in as Cirque du Soleil’s 20th big top show. It promises to bring “bold new visuals and a unique aesthetic” to North Texas, with a soundtrack that captures the essence of the show’s emotional depth while elevating its “stunning acrobatics and storytelling” with live vocals and intricate harmonies.
Packed with “vibrant characters, inspiring music, astounding lights and projections,” and never-before-seen acrobatic feats, ECHO aims to take audiences on a journey through a universe of wonder and infinite possibilities.
