Synopsis
Legend throws a contemporary perspective on the ancient Greek myths. Once all the monsters have been killed and all the adventures had, what is left? In a new twist on an age old set up, a prince is shipwrecked on a deserted island only to find it wasn't so deserted after all.
Through a physical, colourful and imaginative live theatrical event, Legend tells the story of the young Prince Demophon, who has not achieved the glories he dreams of and finds himself trapped on an island with a revenge-seeking King and his innocent daughter Cora.
The King is there to find Typhon, a titan capable of breeding a new race of monsters with which to terrorise the world. The price he must pay is his daughter's life. She has been kept innocent by Oneiro, the last magical creature, who has the power to show people their dreams but also, in the case of Cora, to take them away.
Legend is a tale about revenge, love and dreams told in a modern re-working of the ancient Greek style. It aims to tantalise the audience's imagination to create the stories of great and tragic events.
