Duck

Duck is a feral, funny, full-throttle one-woman show that hurls cabaret, burlesque, clowning, and spoken word into the same pond and watches the feathers fly.

At the centre is Duck: a mixed-race duck with a minor identity crisis and a major need to belong. Armed with wit, chaos, and questionable coping mechanisms, she’s stuck on the fence between her chicken coop home and the pond she so desperately longs for, only to discover that fitting in is a lot harder when everyone insists on telling you what you are before you’ve had the chance to decide for yourself.

Hilarious, tender, and gloriously unhinged, Duck pecks at the absurdity of race, identity, and existing between worlds. Part comedy meltdown, part act of defiance, Duck is for anyone who’s ever felt too much, not enough, or impossible to put in a box.

This event will take space in our exciting performance space The Jag which is located just a few doors along from the main Belgrade building on Corporation Street. If you are booking for an event in The Jag, here are a few things you need to know.

• Capacity is limited so please book in advance if you can. Tickets are available online or from the Belgrade Box Office. If you can’t book in advance there will be a pop-up Box Office at The Jag itself, if there is ticket availability.
• There is a lift to allow wheelchair access to the performance space but access is via a corridor which is 90cm wide at its narrowest point. That means we are able to accommodate most manual wheelchairs but motorised or more specialised wheelchairs may not be able to have access. We’d be happy to discuss solutions to this with artists & audience members, please contact us via boxoffice@belgrade.co.uk
• The Jag performance area is in the basement. It’s incredibly atmospheric but be aware that it’s a dark space with a low ceiling and no windows.
