Feathers will fly in Circa’s exuberant take on Swan Lake.

The Australian cirque company re-imagines the world’s most romantic ballet as a circus spectacular—featuring Tchaikovsky’s music paired with Circa’s signature physicality, cheeky humor, and thoroughly contemporary energy.

Be swept away by this tale of swans and hapless princes sparkling with quirky touches, like the decorated duck army and a burlesque black swan. There are out-of-sight 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.
