ECHO

By Nassim Soleimanpour

ECHO Top / Details / The Company
Fri 27 Jun - Sat 05 Jul 2025

A different performer takes to the stage for each show – with no rehearsal and no idea what’s going to happen next. 

Adventuring across time and space, guided by Nassim from his flat in Berlin, performer and audience embark on a global journey of belonging, connection, and the meaning of home.  

★★★★★ ‘Magically uplifting and soulful’ The Telegraph
★★★★ ‘A remarkable act of live magic’ The Times  

Nassim Soleimanpour’s (White Rabbit Red Rabbit) critically acclaimed, sold-out hit ECHO returns to the Royal Court before an international tour. 

Directed by Omar Elerian (Rhinoceros), this limited run will feature an all-new cast of brave performers, taking to the stage for one night only.
