Prepare in South Florida as Cirque du Soleil triumphantly returns with its new show 'ECHO.' Set against the iconic backdrop of Pegasus, the stunning performances will take place at 1/ST’s Gulfstream Park in Fort Lauderdale. This marks a historic moment for Broward County, which will host the big-top show.

The heart of 'ECHO' revolves around a massive two-story-high cube, a symbolic centerpiece that brings innovation and versatility to the show. Mukhtar Omar Sharif Mukhtar, the show's director, explains: "There are performances inside the cube and performances outside the cube. We can project videos on it, and the cube doesn't just stay still, it moves. We wanted to create a bold statement... to create an object that has many different uses in the show."
