Learning the ropes with Cirque du Soleil
Cirque du Soleil's 'ECHO' is currently thrilling audiences under the Big Top at Atlantic Station, where it opened last month and will run through Jan. 21.
It’s the 20th Big Top creation from Cirque du Soleil and to mark the impressive milestone, the team behind ECHO has created a show that defies expectations and gravity: ECHO is currently thrilling audiences under the Big Top at Atlantic Station, where it opened Nov. 5 and will run through Jan. 21. The show centers on a protagonist named Future and her exploration of the phases of evolution — a story brought to life by a cast of 52 performers representing more than a dozen countries. Creators say ECHO is the first Cirque du Soleil show to feature six live singers, and that most of the show’s musicians also sing during the show. And then…there’s the CUBE. What is the CUBE, exactly? All we can tell you is that it’s an integral part of the performance and is the size of a two-story apartment building. And yes…it fits under the Big Top, which should tell you how massive the set-up at Atlantic Station really is.

Atlanta Braves' Michael Harris II talks about Catch 23 Foundation: Michael Harris may be one of the most popular Braves players. He's from Atlanta, and he made the spectacular catch that pushed the team to the 2nd round of the MLB Playoffs. Not only is he a star on the field, he's also one off as well. His Catch 23 Foundation is a newly formed community-based nonprofit organization, in the process of obtaining a 501(c)(3), focused on combating the stigma of mental illness, eradicating the growing problem of homelessness, and promoting diversity and inclusion in Atlanta and surrounding areas. Inspired by the passion of the 2022 National League Rookie of the Year and Atlanta Braves centerfielder, Michael Harris, II, the foundation stems from Michael’s passion for and dedication to helping those less fortunate and underserved. His aspiration to become a veterinarian and knowing how pets may heighten the lives of others, invigorated his desire to give back through animal support.
