When Swan Lake meets The Ugly Duckling, feathers will fly.
Circa, Australia’s trailblazing contemporary circus company, takes ballet’s most beloved classic and flips it on its head. With soaring aerials, a sequinned duck army, burlesque black swans and a cheeky twist on the fairytale you thought you knew, Duck Pond is a high-octane fusion of beauty, comedy and jaw-dropping skill.
Quirky, beautiful and delightfully irreverent. This is Swan Lake, but not as you know it.
