Duck Pond by Circa

ADD TO FAVOURITES
Circus
Dance

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

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.

★★★★ “The acrobatics are awe-inspiring” – THE IRISH TIMES

★★★★ “Graceful aerial solos. Jaw dropping lifts. Superhuman balances. Swan Lake as you’ve
never seen it before” – THE TIMES 

★★★★ “Thoroughly entertaining. This circus mash-up of swan lake and the ugly duckling is a
seasonal treat” – TIME OUT
