the big trip to switzerland to home. i don't borrow is the festival fever at the moment among all of us the french festival is in full swing it would have started a nine hundred forty seven as an event for fringe groups of that time eight independent theater groups organized based on officially banned which took place alongside the established edinburgh festival but thanks changed today it's the largest cultural festival in the what artists from more than fifty countries take part but with such a varied program thousands of events it's not that easy for perform us to get people to come to their show. every august musicians and theater groups converge scotland for the fringe festival

and for more than three weeks the venerable. old town becomes a speech for performers from all over the world. god it's time we. well it would be excellent thing is unique. as far as i'm aware this police sales in the world where art just lives and breathes is overwhelming but i think that's the best part of fringe where you go you get pulled into one direction or another you know quite know what you're going to hear. most of the performers spend their day trying to get as many people as they can to come to the show. it is that you come to the show to excite places that. the more than thirty five hundred shows range from cabaret to standup comedy to classical theater and musicals competition is in texas and in the open air. it's sad it's very difficult where i'm from

nine o'clock in the morning just straight away fly or in other words or is silly stuff like job i don't feel is to try and just drop a tight ship because for so many people of different figures. the. singer and the dean has come with her band all the way to scotland from australia to play their latest programme titled broken romantics. will be appearing for a total of twenty one evenings emma dean already scored a big success touring clubs back in australia in edinburgh she and her band will have to do their own publicity now they see window at least to sort of be on the street in a strategy of firing it's not something that was here for our show you so it's a whole new wild out but after last night we noticed that there that ticket sales have spiked so i think word of mouth is a really. really right that's probably the best white supplier to show i was over fifty thousand performances go to make this the world's largest arts

festival it's been growing since it was first held in one thousand forty seven and just keeps getting bigger expanding to pubs theatres and even clubs anyone who can talk their way into one of the three hundred seventeen venues can join in. there's a cultural democracy that underpins the friendship is so it doesn't matter if you. kindness brought out or you're an artist who's performing for the first time you get exactly the same coverage in the friends programme you get exactly the same treatment exactly the same slot in the end and the bad news of those two. is that there's a kind of beautiful equality between its. successful theatre groups come to edinburgh as well the cambridge footlights are taking their show pillow talk on a world tour the group from cambridge university was founded in one thousand nine hundred three and it's steeped in tradition. every year the company's lineup changes. stars like john cleese stephen fry and emma

thompson were first discovered here the show's humor is typically british zany black and merciless. they didn't even have to drum up an audience. it's so much easier to sell these people recognise things like this and think about i reckon i know the lives of people who come up that i know in the top side every child watching this to try and then they kind of then come to see the next that kind of columbia. they come from a great tradition and faith ha expectational. such famous predecessors are a tough act for the new york sambal to follow. us out you know only bobo the same evening just a few minutes walk farther on him again we'll soon find out how effective the publicity for broken romantics was. the house is two thirds full that's relatively good. the audience is taken on

a journey through lovesickness suffering and confidence the message is simple a broken heart can heal if you learn to accept yourself as you watch. the show with her voice is amazing i thought it was very unique not what i was expecting until hopefully. now most will just keep growing and growing which they seem to be doing really naturally just to get the show in front of us many people as possible to make a new connections. for this day and regina and her band are john tomorrow's another day and another performance at the famous fabulous for it. there's also a big event taking place on bourbon streets at the moment but here it's all about sports let's find out more and today's express.

a market have in common they all part of her stuff sold new album big song for me well the french artist is something of a some collector is always looking for something new to incorporate into his experimental jast pieces in addition he shows videos at his concerts just like not have book. christo show solos performances are a dialogue between music and images a multi-faceted interaction of sounds boyce's and images that continuously repeat themselves. when i leave exploit these repetitions allow you to explore the details all the way to infinity. if you listen to it just saw listens carefully to the sounds of whatever space he's in right now he's at the harbor for historical ships in hamburg

not all places mean the same to him as a bunch of good to move that. i hear the same as everyone with this whistle is probably from a ship that he put it through the sounds of the people like but nothing very distinctive could stop him and thereby exist with it all the time is the other but there's nothing yet that i'm really interested sure the. result as it always was then will respond more interested in specific thing as i can hear people speaking good i don't keep us saying stuff while i go with all the. folk from you know the haze left things like that and i heard this. subtly. in twenty fourteen assault took his film team with him to martinique that's where his family originated big son pays tribute to his parents who were killed in

a plane crash. and you know it sounds like the apes in planet of the. sensible man that's not a bad mix verse but for me to be really interested in the sounds of a place i have to be connected with it was a lot of what people just for could make the other girl walk. last year shot so was invited to make music at the studio been e.t.i. in the french pavilion at the venice biennale zero zero zero zero zero zero

zero one evening he came across these young women and recorded them on his phone. tag. the next day we went to the studio of n h u and i harmonized their singing in attic ords to the melody which. conducive enough because of that i recognize their energy of. the feel that they had this kind of craziness of youth that the acquittal in what i like best is people singing a capella it's what's easiest to harmonize almonds is that your. bag

because the chef so has perfect pitch he needs it for his audio visual art he's been developing his sense of hearing since childhood. moved to the music so my dad was a physician. and from early on in our learning. process he gave me and my sister some quite strict rules. he told us that whenever we practiced we had to say the notes whatever we were playing so if we played mozart or something it was like this could see them with the truth or if. either will. there is another view that as you go a little goes it's an excellent practice for hearing music so. i'm sure song doesn't only want to be able to hear sounds perfectly and recognize the notes he wants to capture their conscience. we

get to do divert a goal is to reveal things that are already there this was not so these are not your sister these are. like that sound the idea is to bring everything back into one straight line. through to what's. putting the world in order bringing in harmony and creating new realities. that's christophe for solo subject. from music to a museum but instead of looking at paintings all sculpt just you can drink what sounds weird but the world's first voc a museum has opened gaz where of cross in poland a newspaper headline

this only happens in em and talk. and they produce carbon dioxide that confiscates and that's how these nice round holes are created to go also and. this is where the cheese becomes. then pressed into a mold and stored in a brine solution. the results go down well with if is it. ok say it with me give me some she starts to have a certain bite to it and the a road has to be a little bit pungent if you research a.f.l. but. very nice cheese is fantastic the temperature is not too cold and it's stored for at least a year or a year and a half that's why the taste is more intensive. it's the infancy flemish muck.
