Duck Pond

To imagine Duck Pond, you need to take a deep breath and open your mind to physically surprising possibilities entwined into a transformed storyline. It’s not what you might think!

The world’s most romantic ballet is re-imagined as a feather flying circus spectacular and infused with cheeky humour and contemporary energy that will resonate with you.

Direct from worldwide performances in Sweden, Canada, the USA and the UAE, this enchanting performance draws you in and surprises you. The performance features 11 skilled performers, elegant swans, a sequinned flipper-wearing duck army and gravity-defying aerials that make you hold your breath in anticipation and awe. Plenty of gasps, laughs, and surprises unfold, and keep an eye out for the exceptional burlesque skills as one swan mesmerises up on high!

The production has a runtime of approximately 75 minutes.
