Duck Pond is an extraordinary extravaganza that blends your favourite romantic ballet with world-class circus in an unmissable event for audiences of all ages.
Feathers will fly in this ‘exhilarating’ (ArtsHub), ‘hugely entertaining’ (Limelight) tale of beautiful swans, a hapless prince, and a cheeky flipper-wearing duck army.
Touching, funny and utterly entertaining, Duck Pond is crammed with eye-popping stunts, jaw-dropping aerials and rib-tickling comedy.
