Crews raise big top tent for Cirque du Soleil show

Cirque du Soleil has raised its iconic Big Top tent in Colorado once again.

The circus company is preparing its production of "Echo" on the grounds of Ball Arena in Denver, with crews raising the massive blue and white tent on Saturday.

Cirque du Soleil's first original post-pandemic Big Top show, "Echo" is described as a "story of connection, intention, and the symbiotic unions between humans and the animal kingdom."

The 20th Big Top show in the company's history, Cirque du Soleil said "Echo" has new visuals and a unique aesthetic. 

"Packed with vibrant characters, inspiring music, astounding lights and projections, and never-before-seen acrobatic feats, 'Echo' invites audiences on a journey through a universe of color, wonder, and infinite possibilities," Cirque du Soleil said.
