With me your host meghan lee heres a look at what else weve got coming up. Capturing the beauty of unique bookstores. And furniture that is full imagination yes still functional. But we kick off the show with a balancing act of sorts the sport of slacklining or balancing on a high wire is hard enough and requires a great deal of concentration now add the extra challenge of playing an instrument or performing theatrical now by that may sound impossible but this is what a group of french performers are doing up on high we caught up with them at a church in france for one of their latest shows. Acrobatics at dizzying heights on a high line. It leads to the abbey church of scent and baby and southeastern france. Here the group will do so is putting on a show that combines music dancing acrobatics and puppet theatre with the extreme sports. We used to fashion which is highly i mean to make a scene india so high and. Yet we just want to bring. Out in the real space in assume nobody ever play music before. Trying to communicate. Keeping your balance at such heights is already quite a feat but performing a choreographed routine while making music on top right now thats showmanship extraordinaire. When youre focused on the music balancing on the line and performing it happens automatically and before i put my and you know im like oh i will never be a bird i need my arm to balance and once i Start Playing i just cant do it and when they play music under 9 i forget that im under that and. The members of the we do this have been performing together since 2016. The highlight of their career thus far was performing on chan many mountain in china. They also staged a multimedia show in a cave in the south of france. 2 would be do we try to introduce elements inspired by the local culture whenever we can at a concert in china we played a chinese drum on the net. And in the grotto we told a local legend. You see its. Were always searching for the most interesting places to perform so here to be performing in a church its a 1st time and to believe performing in the garden like this and in a religious context. Its really special for us to change the pre conceived ideas about locations like this. And the artists from our say came to sometimes 2 weeks before their show to develop the concept onsite. Dont like just kind of. Show we do so it means we are also from what we discover here so were in and we speak with people of the village and we like to include. The place where we are from and. Falling d. M. Is. Town chronicler. One of her tales which deals with the villages social problems in the last century became the central theme of the performance. They were counted local history but transposed it was making it more monton and accessible to everyone to want to play a Musical Instrument up there on a line without losing your balance thats impressive but. Most of the groups performances also feature handmade props created with lots of love and care. We are gifted with this and we used. To make. The french performers are now looking for another unusual place to present their daring concept. After their debut performance on a church theyre now dreaming of stringing their high lines between the chips in pyramids. Were all afraid of running into that scary monster in the forests well thanks to danish artist thomas dumbo coming across a giant troll is a real possibility for the last couple of years dumbo has been building and hiding oversized monsters like little tilda in the countryside around copenhagen and now hes put together a troll Treasure Hunt but as he sees it there is no reason to be afraid. Stannis hiding in the forest while state has storm is watching every. Long live is enjoying the beach. These mystical giant trolls in denmark. But what is going on and how did they get here. I think like anybody else my atack were up on fairy tales and folklore stories so i think thats also why i like to tell them oh and i for me trolls they dont need to be like evil they can also be good and in my favorites trolls they are the protectors of nature. Right now thomas down by one to his team of volunteers have only got eyes for this trial. So this one here is called cuban evolved and its like the little old but very intelligent troll. Van is one of 10 trolls taking cover in the countryside the story is a well known danish fairy tale thomas plans to finish the sculpture in 10 days at 4 metres in height is one of the smaller. Some of the trolls sculptures can reach up to 18 meters high i like them to play with scale and make us feel small compared to them because we are really small compared to nature using the right materials is an important part of the princess this one here is made from a pole that i found just around the corner here and its the from the local fisherman they use them to tie their fishing thats all of course we are in the harbor for. This one is the inscription stone which is actually made from the same wood that comes from those rolling their weapons that they got a whole bunch of in the workshop. Aside from nails and glue thomas only uses discarded wood he collects ontario and eats it in his studio in copenhagen this what infinity used to belong to a shop big. To shut down. And i think that projects such as my art can maybe help alter peoples perspective on trash from being something worthless to something with value 1st thomas makes sketches of his ideas. The heads and other details and then put together in his studio the other parts a created out in the new and. Give it life some kind of peer group that i would paint black and poor here as always the last thing that i put in. When its completed the heads are ready to set off. This one that will go to australia and this one will go to the United States across the globe a total of 70. Hiding in places like belgium. South korea when im traveling out in the world i need to like find locally because of course the cancelling of from copenhagen from china i just love to go on the Treasure Hunt to find those things were going to make me really having so its a combination of like having people helping me organize before i arrive but then also just going around and looking what is in the dumpsters despite the size spotting a troll isnt as easy as youd think but frankly theres now an interactive treasure map to help tell hunters on my quest this family feud has been taken this on the look we have a daughter who is 10 and she really likes Digital World and to get her out and about to see a bit of the nature out here and then a Treasure Hunt is always great fun on the dot com hunters can access a digital treasure map using this map they need to 1st find metal plaques which then provide them with coordinates to the next plane. And so nice to see the people who use it and that is the whole object of my project is to learn people away from their comfort so finally at the end of the hunt. Reward awaits like captain now and his. One of his on the trail friends. Thomas down those plan to get people out to all this and into the nature of random seems to be working.

The cityscape of a modern metropolis dotted with skyscrapers in the table. Its designer still used calls his functional artwork the wave city table. I went to really restaurant and while i was sitting there i was there during the shape of a rug this interesting shape so i thought you know what buildings would be interesting so.

The table shouldnt break if someone sits on it to increase its store ability. And a metal worker spent a lot of time fine tuning the design. Were using studio we did place here are big sheets of metal we cut them in the dimensions of the we want and then we use the machines behind us to bend the steel into their shape of the table it turns out to be not very very easy because you need to get it for size so.
