Legendary is a solo ritual musical by singer-songwriter Cheeyang Ng, blending Chinese mythology, memory and queer identity. The show explores Ng's relationship with family, tradition and stories that shaped them but never reflected them, through communal song and the retelling of ancient myths including the god Pan Gu and the goddess Nü Wa. A life-affirming tale of queer joy and identity, the show invites audience participation to help create the story. It runs for 75 minutes at Friesian and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A rare and deeply personal show that weaves Chinese mythology into a story about queer identity and belonging, with live communal singing drawing the audience in as participants rather than passive observers. Generous, original and genuinely moving.
