“Wendy Yu’s superb video and AV design is totally transportive…”The Guardian, on Legends of the Golden Arches, 2025

Legends of the Golden Arches
A theatrical journey through Singapore’s void decks into phantasmagoric worlds, responsive projection, environmental video, and narrative AV across multiple registers. Co-created by Joe Paradise Lui and Merlynn Tong; produced by Performing Lines WA with seasons at Perth Festival, Melbourne Theatre Company, and Brisbane.
Set design, surfaces for projection
Set design: Cherish Marrington. Projections land on the kabuki cloth in Act 1 (void deck); the cloth drops to reveal the pagoda structure for Chinese Hell in Act 2. AV content was authored for these surfaces in collaboration with the co-directors and lighting.

AV design for Jasmine Lee-Jones’s play on online speech, friendship, and race. The Australian staging (Darlinghurst / Green Door, then Malthouse) played multiple Sydney and Melbourne seasons, screen and digital layers integrated with live performance in the room.
Gallery order: production stills first (AV in the room), then process reference. Set line drawing last, process material, not a substitute for live documentation.
