Duck Pond

Feathers will fly in Circa's exuberant take on Swan Lake.

The world's most romantic ballet is re-imagined as a circus spectacular, full of Circa’s signature physicality and shot through with cheeky humour and a thoroughly contemporary energy. 

Be swept away by this tale of swans and hapless princes sparkling with quirky touches like the sequinned flipper-wearing duck army and a burlesque black swan. There are sumptuous aerials, jaw-dropping acrobatics and of course feathers! Touching, funny and utterly entertaining, Duck Pond is a tale of identity and finding your true self. 

Feel free to wear a hint of sequins or feathers on the night!

Truly talented group of energetic performers with world-class balancing and stage craft skills that astound and amaze. – Stage Whispers.
