‘In the beginning, there was a God named Pan Gu, and a ravishing Goddess named Nü Wa.’
Ancient myths. Modern questions. International multi-award-winning artist and singer-songwriter Cheeyang Ng blends Chinese mythology, memory and queer legacy in the electrifying solo ritual musical Legendary, a life-affirming tale of queer joy and identity. Through communal song and the retelling of ancient legends, they explore their relationship with family, tradition and the stories that have shaped them, yet never reflected them. A global internet sensation, Legendary doesn't just tell a story: it invites the audience to create one.
