Feathers will fly in Circa's exuberant take on Swan Lake. The world's most romantic ballet is re-imagined as a circus spectacular, full of the company’s signature physicality, cheeky humor, and a thoroughly contemporary energy. Enjoy sumptuous aerials, jaw-dropping acrobatics, and so many feathers!
This sweeping tale of swans and hapless princes sparkles with quirky touches like the sequined flipper-wearing duck army and a burlesque black swan. Touching, funny, and utterly entertaining, Duck Pond is a tale of identity and finding your true self. This performance is created for all ages.
Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the world’s leading performance companies. They have toured the world from their base in Brisbane, Australia – performing in more than 45 countries to nearly 2 million people. Circa is at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus – pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances. Since 2004 they have continued to push the boundaries of the art form, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theater, and circus. Fueled by the question “What is possible in circus?”, Circa is leading the way with a diverse range of thrilling creations that “redraw the limits to which circus can aspire” (The Age).
