As exciting as ever, Cirque is back in town

My mouth was hanging open in awe for most of the performance of “ECHO.” The show is about “evolution and the symbiotic unions that our future depends on.”

While the theme, and many of the performers, may have been over my head, I loved every minute of the new Cirque du Soleil show playing under the Big Top at Atlantic Station through Jan. 21, 2024.

The most confounding act is the two women who perform aerial tricks while being suspended by their hair. My head hurts if I part my hair on the other side.

Tickets are available at cirquedusoleil.com/ECHO.
