Duck Pond
9 – 12 Jan 2026
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.
