An interview with the creators Tell us about the show Merlynn: LEGENDS shares the story of two friends at a traditional Chinese funeral for both their grandparents. There are gods. There is the Chinese mythical underworld and there’s hell theme parks. Joe: LEGENDS starts off at a traditional Chinese funeral and then progresses through all the different layers of Chinese hell – making pitstops along the way for roast duck and burgers. LEGENDS is an examination of the tension between preserving our cultural heritage and traditions, and resisting the more oppressive or conservative elements of them. Merlynn: So we celebrate and challenge these components of our culture and also explore what ‘home’ means with humour and care.
