Duck Pond | Circa | DanceHouse | Vancouver Playhouse | January 22-25, 2025 Acrobatic feats, physical humour, emotive contemporary movement, burlesque, and sequined duck feet: Duck Pond is a true spectacle. Australia’s preeminent dance-circus company returned to Vancouver with another … adaptation of a classic ballet. Duck Pond is an artful mashup of Swan Lake and The Ugly Duckling. The company first wowed Vancouver audiences in 2023 with Sacre, a new version of the Rite of Spring — both co-presentations between DanceHouse and The Cultch. When an ugly duckling falls in love with a prince, the feathers fly — quite literally.
