Cirque du Soleil ECHO Set to Enchant Houston Audiences Under the Big Top at Sam Houston Race Park
Cirque du Soleil, the globally acclaimed entertainment phenomenon, will bring its latest touring show, ECHO, to Houston at the Sam Houston Race Park from February 6 to March 23, 2025. Presented under the iconic Big Top, the show delivers a breathtaking blend of acrobatics, artistry, and technology that explores themes of connection, evolution, and humanity's symbiotic bond with the natural world.
Known for its ability to reinvent the circus arts, Cirque du Soleil began as a small troupe of street performers in the quaint village of Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec. Founded in 1984 by Guy Laliberté, the group’s groundbreaking approach—eschewing animals in favor of theatrical storytelling, stunning visuals, and live music—catapulted them to international fame. Today, Cirque du Soleil is a household name, with performances that have captivated millions across the globe.

In ECHO, Cirque du Soleil takes audiences on an imaginative journey through a universe of color, wonder, and infinite possibilities. The narrative follows a young woman named Future and her loyal companion, Dog, as they encounter a mysterious Cube that teaches them the power of collective action. Together, they navigate a fantasy world that emphasizes hope, empathy, and humanity’s capacity to shape a better future.
“The performance arena under the Big Top allows us to craft an immersive experience unlike anything else,” said a spokesperson for Cirque du Soleil. “ECHO is designed to inspire and entertain while provoking thought about our connection to the natural world.”
