Stunts. Sequins. Flippers. Feathers. Experience Swan Lake like never before…
The award-winning Australian circus company Circa bring their exuberant reimagining of Swan Lake to London this Christmas. The perfect festive treat for all the family, Duck Pond is a thrilling and enchanting extravaganza that blends spectacular circus and dazzling performance.
Feathers will fly in this joyful and exhilarating tale of beautiful swans, a hapless prince, and a cheeky flipper-wearing flock of ducks. Brimming with eye-popping stunts, jaw-dropping aerials and rib-tickling comedy.
Circa is one of the world’s leading performance companies. Founded in 2004 Brisbane, Australia, they have extensively toured the world performing in more than 45 countries to nearly 2 million people.
