And furniture that is full of the imagination yet 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 extreme sports. We used 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. Nobody ever play music before. Trying to. 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 you focus on the music balancing on the line and performing it happens automatically and before i put my end zone im like oh i will never be a bird i need my arm to balance and once i have stuff playing i just cant do it and when they play music on the line they forget that im underlined. The members of the we do is have been performing together since 2016. Highlight of their careers 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 you have to be performing in a church its a 1st time and to be 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. The artists from our say came to sometimes 2 weeks before their show to develop the concept onsite. Dont like just be focused on a. Show we do so it means we spiral so from what we discover here so were in and we speak with the people of the village and. Include. The place where we are from and. Falling d. M. Is a yes town chronicler. One of her tales which deals with the villages social problems in the last century became the central theme of the performance. Of the i recounted local history but transposed it was making it more martin and accessible to everyone who will want playing a Musical Instrument up there on a slant line without losing your balance thats impressive. 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 and pyramids. Were all afraid of running into that stary 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. Storm is watching every and long live is enjoying the beach. These mystical giant trolls. But what is going on and how did they cant hear. 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 for me trolls they dont need to be like evil they can also be good and in my favorite trolls they are the protectors of nature. Right now thomas down by one to his team of volunteers have only got eyes for this trunk. So this one here is called even evolve 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 trails 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 make sure choosing the right materials is an important part of the princess this one here is made from a poll that i found just around the corner here and its from the local fishermen they use them to tie their fishing thats all of course we are in the harbor. This one is the inscription stone which is actually made from the same wood that comes from those rolling weapons that day i got a whole bunch of in the workshop. Aside from nails and glue thomas only uses discarded wood he collects ontarians keeps it in his studio in copenhagen this wooden fence 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 from being something worthless to something with value 1st thomas makes sketches of his ideas. They had some other details then put together in his studio. Created out. Of it like some kind of. Computer on however thats always the last thing that i put in. Once 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 up cycle hiding in places like belgium. South korea when im traveling out in the world i need to like find the materials locally because of course the came 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 signs spotting you troll isnt as easy as you think but thankfully theres now an interactive treasure map to help us on that quest this family from copenhagen isnt looking to have a daughter who is 10 and she really likes. 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 trail map dot com hunters can access a digital treasure map using this map they need to 1st find metal tracks which then provide them with coordinates to the next clue. Its so nice to see the people who use it and that is the whole objective of my project is to learn people away from their comfort so finally at the end of the hum. Reward away like captain nalla and his band. One of his other troll friends. Thomas demos plan to get people out to do all this and into the nature of random seems to be working.

Can you imagine a ping pong table for the dining room or a flying carpet as a chair or these are just some of the designs by. Now his furniture looks so real and is full of dream like wonder we caught up with the young designer at his studio on cypress to hear more about what inspires him. The cityscape of a modern metropolis dotted with skyscrapers in the table. Its designer still used calls his functional artwork the wage city table. I went to we are restaurant and i was sitting there a bus that during the shape of a rug this interesting shape so i thought oh you know what buildings would be interesting so. I did a rough sketch with buildings and i did the 3 d. Model on the computer so when we made the 1st it will look really really good bands of Designer Furniture agreed the wave city table has made musard east famous it even features in the Permanent Collection of the louvre.

Biodegradable plastic this posting very slowly anyone break very easily in addition to black the weight city table also comes in a wood finish. 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 steel we get plates here are big sheets of metal we cut them in the dimensions other 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 precise so. Processing and try. Weve got it right b. And then the 80 kilograms plates are clad with wood painstakingly and by hand a carpenter joins the maple veneer sheets together he cant afford to make a mistake otherwise the entire work will be ruined the craftsman must glue the thin wooden layer to the curved metal plate precisely to the exact millimeter so that made some good to disability and heaviness and there would be a good few they usually its all woods. For the black version the metal is coated with powder based paint. Then attaches the buildings using a special ed he says. Very very very solid pieces and. So you can see there.
