Catalan Butterflies will be launched at the Imagine Festival in Waterford on Friday, 28th October, 2022 - it is a free, but ticketed event: www.eventbrite.ie/e/catalan-butter…ets-416869175927 The evening will also showcase the work of Adele Pound, who has created craft artworks in response to the collection. Presented and performed by Dónal Gallagher (Asylum Productions), supported by the author and four musicians. Phil Soanes (Resonating Wood Studios), Frank Maher, Shaun O’Neill and Eric Downer have composed an album of music to accompany the poems of Catalan Butterflies and the launch of this book will also mark the debut performance of this collaboration between musicians working between Ireland, Poland and Slovakia. The poems, songs and stories of Catalan Butterflies will take the audience on a journey over the Pyrenees along the Catalan trails that have inspired Laurence O’Dwyer’s latest work. A chance encounter with a butterfly expert who described himself as an anarchist lepidopterist provided the first spark for a series of portraits of humans and butterflies that inhabit some shadowy corners of a sunny province of the world. imagineartsfestival.com/catalan-butterflies/ Genre Ambient
