NEW SHOW ADDED
The enchantment of Swan Lake meets the thrill of the circus, with humour, panache and 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.
Reviews
