Cirque du Soleil’s Echo features international cast of circus performers from around the world

CTV's Ian White speaks to Leonardo Louzada de Freitas about Cirque du Soleil's Echo.

In their stunning show Echo, Cirque du Soleil performers certainly have a firm grasp of the concept of “no margin for error.”

“Teeterboard, as you see, has to be really precise. We do not have a big apparatus. We only a 50 centimetres place to land,” teeterboard performer Leonardo Louzada de Freitas told CTV News.

“What I usually do is try to have fun and keep the focus on and try to be there for my teammates so I can protect everyone,” Louzada de Freitas said.

A Brazilian, Louzada de Freitas is part of a team of teeterboard performers from Russia, Kazakhstan, the UK, Australia and Mexico.

He says he enjoys the multinational nature of his teammates.

“It’s diverse. It’s beautiful. It’s a great communication we have. We all do speak English as well, so that makes it easier.”
