Event Details

Circa’s Duck Pond takes Tchaikovsky’s beloved masterpiece and gives it a dazzling twist — circus style.

In this whimsically audacious reimagining of the world’s most iconic tale of transformation, the brilliant minds and bodies of contemporary circus company Circa have outdone themselves. Sumptuous aerials, jaw-dropping acrobatics and a flurry of feathers swirl through their inspired fusion of this timeless score and the fairytale The Ugly Duckling — all performed with astounding, controlled chaos.

If you like your high art served with humour and panache, Duck Pond is the perfect blend of elegance, thrills and entertainment, made for the grandeur of the Kiri Te Kanawa stage.

Suitable for all ages.
