Circa Bring Duck Pond to the Southbank Centre This Christmas

Duck Pond Comes to the South Bank Centre

Duck Pond Comes to the South Bank Centre

Trailblazing Australian circus company Circa bring their extraordinary reimagining of Swan Lake to London this Christmas.  Duck Pond is a daring extravaganza that blends spectacular circus and world-class performance for audiences of all ages.

Feathers will fly in this exhilarating tale of beautiful swans, a hapless prince, and a cheeky flipper-wearing duck army. Brimming with eye-popping stunts, jaw-dropping aerials and rib-tickling comedy, Duck Pond will swan into the Southbank Centre this Christmas from 19 – 30 December 2024.

Tickets go on sale to the public on 16 May at 10am. For further details visit www.duckpond.live

       

Circa Director Yaron Lifschitz said: “I can’t wait to bring Duck Pond to London.  There is truly something for everyone in this show. I wanted to make something beautiful, funny, sophisticated and accessible to reach across all ages and artistic preferences.  We hope fairy tale and circus lovers alike will be transfixed as Duck Pond draws upon the worlds of Swan Lake and The Ugly Duckling, as well as a variety of different acrobatic languages-from the seductive burlesque Black Swan to the clowning of the sequin flippered Duck Army.”

Circa is one of the world’s leading performance companies.  Founded in 2004 Brisbane, Australia, they have extensively toured the world performing in more than 45 countries to nearly 2 million people. Their works have been greeted with standing ovations and sold-out houses across six continents.  Circa is at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus – pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances. It continues to push the boundaries of the art form, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theatre and circus.
