Greta Oto

Greta Oto is the title of the concert by Papillons d’éternité (Matthieu Ehrlacher and Tânia Carvalho). A sound experiment, a musical journey and a vehicle into the night. A hypnotic ride that takes you on an endless, dense, wide and, above all, fragile road. Greta Oto is also the name of a butterfly, a lepidopteran famous for the transparency of its wings. Known as the glass or mirror butterfly, it has another important peculiarity: this insect makes long migrations, journeys that are too long for ordinary butterflies. The experience appeals as much to the sound as to the visual. Matthieu and Tânia’s musical proposal evokes sounds that seem to come from other worlds, from an inscrutable garden, from an ocean of ether. They are songs improvised on a structural basis, which are unleashed without beginning or end, because in the most important journeys, the most important thing is always the journey, never the point of departure or arrival.

Tânia Carvalho (1976, Viana do Catelo) is a choreographer with a career spanning over twenty years. She has been a regular presence in theaters and festivals, in Portugal and abroad, presenting creations in the areas of dance, music, drawing and film. Matthieu Ehrlacher (Figeac, France 1984) is a musician and choreographer. He currently collaborates with the band dSCi dUASsEMIcoLCHEIASiNVERTIDAS, developping his solo music project with saxophones and a music duo with Tânia Carvalho.
