A duet for the two ends of life.
Ernie is 18, 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 public and private, intimate and open 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
Choreography Ernie Shorten
Music Sebastian Tesouro
