STACKED WONKY PRESENTS: 55

55
A duet for the two ends of life.
Ernie is 19, Gerard is 74: there are 55 years between them.
They met when Ernie was just 6 years old.
The piece exists thanks to partners willing to commission a young choreographer.
Ernie says, “I wanted to begin my choreographic journey with a performer I know well and feel respect for. That’s why I asked Gerard. The duet touches upon what Gerard knows and I don’t; what I have and Gerard has lost; and what we both hold in common. I wanted to push past sentimental imagery. I’m imprisoned by my age, wild with a constant onslaught of emotions and feel pressure to be something in the future. He has his own version of this.”

55 is a close-up, 20-minute-long performance that brings together two people from different generations. Inspired by the 55-year age gap between them, it explores connection, memory and shared experience in a simple, human way, inviting audiences to feel part of the moment.
