An unlikely duet for Ernie, 18, and Gerard, 73.
There are 55 years between them.
Both are highly skilled performers. Ernie is a boxer, singer and National Youth Dance Company alumnus. Gerard arrived at Stacked Wonky after working with the likes of Improbable Theatre, Punchdrunk and Stan’s Cafe.
They like and trust each other.
The duet is Ernie's idea, made possible by partners willing to commission an intuitive young choreographer.
Join the performance as it weaves its way through private and public, intimate and exposed spaces this summer. You will find Gerard with his "in memoriam" bench looking for a good spot.
Devised & performed by Gerard Bell and Ernie Shorten
