Duck Pond

The enchantment of Swan Lake, the thrill of the circus, with humour, panache and, of course, feathers.

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.

★★★★½ “A daring circus twist on Swan Lake that balances beauty, danger, and cheeky irreverence.”- Melbournise Me
