🦆 Throwback to 2007 and one of Firefly’s most wonderfully strange productions. Duck Duck Bang had it all: aerialists, live music, and stunts. A show about a man, his rubber ducks, and a gang of Evil Pillow Fighting Sorority Girls. We don’t make the rules, we just make the show.

Our final Artist-in-Residence of the season is here! ✨

Welcome to .shay_cirque , our July Artist-in-Residence. Jaida is taking her incredible stilt walking to new heights—quite literally—as she explores the trapeze while on stilts under the mentorship of the mesmerizing Vanessa Marie.
We’re so excited to see where this bold month of creativity, experimentation, and fearless exploration leads. Welcome to the Firefly studio, Jaida—we can’t wait to watch you soar! 💙🎪
