and the continent of africa on the move stories about motivational change makers taking their destinies into their own hands. d.w. multimedia series food for. d w dot com. hello from berlin great to be here again from a famous festival to fantastic food this is what's coming up in today's show. the curtain at the edinburgh festival if anything go. to your house first rock a museum has opened in walsall. on the big trip to

switzerland home on the famous i am in china. i don't borrow is in 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 in the pena theater groups organized this on official event which took place alongside the established edinburgh festival but things 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 acrobats theater groups converge scotland for the fringe festival and for more than three weeks the venerable. historical old town becomes

a speech for performers from all over the world. to come this time we. just. well of creativity is unique. as far as i'm aware there is sales in the world where art just lives and breathes that's overwhelming but i think that's the best bottom range where you go you get pulled into one direction or another you know quite know what you're going to hear from. most of the performers spend the day trying to get as many people as they can to come to their show. didn't say you can just show them to a tight place right now. the more than thirty five hundred shows range from cabaret stand up comedy to classical theater and musical. competition is intense and in the . sat it's very difficult we're out for nine o'clock in the morning just

straight away flyer and i know we're doing silly stuff like jump rope pillows to try and just drop a tight ship because there's so many people have got somebody different thing it's just. a. 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 to see window at least to sort of be on the street in a strategy of firing it's not something that was because you kraushaar you so it's a whole new world somehow but after last night we noticed that that ticket sales have spiked so i think word of mouth is a really. really great was probably the best way to provide a 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 framers 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 french program you get exactly the same treatment exactly the same song and the bad news. is that there's a kind of beautiful quality to. the successful theater 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 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 black and merciless. they didn't even have to drum up an audience. it's so much easier to sell these people recognised me and think about i reckon i know lots of people who come up to it i know and it talks about it which i watch and it's to try and then they kind of then come to see the next that kind of problem or. they come from a great tradition and face high expectations. such famous predecessors are a tough act for the new york sambal the follow. up you don't leave on bow the same evening just a few minutes walk farther on and the dean will 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 love sickness suffering and confidence the message is simple a broken heart can heal if you learn to accept yourself as you are. see. the show was void. it is amazing and i thought it was very unique not what i was expecting hopefully. most will just keep growing and growing which they seem to be doing really naturally just to get the show in front of as many people as possible to make new connections. for this day and the gina and her band are just 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 at seoul about sports let's find out more and today's express.

for seven days athletes and sports fans are gathering in berlin's western city center for the twenty fourth european athletics championships on the european mile aficionados can try their hand in various events watch some of the competitions in berlin's olympic stadium and even see others up close and live shot putters will get things rolling followed by race walkers and marathon runners in december twenty sixth class was the scene of a terrorist attack the organizers want the championships to stand for international understanding and the unity of europe. because of the heat wave the grape harvest in germany is starting three weeks earlier than usual like here and that's filer southwestern germany. as a little boy i always used to join in for the grape harvest in my parents' vineyard and i can't remember anything like this the harvest beginning in early august with

. the wine growers haven't been hit as hard by europe's try some or as others have a great finds roots can reach fifteen metres down to the plants don't wither as fast. and german wine makers are already confident this will be a good vintage. the traditional summer opera festival is underway in verona italy thousands of music lovers use the opportunity to take in grand productions of the city's e.g. during. a production of giacchino racine these barber of seville seven hundred seventy five has just had its premiere for more performances are scheduled anyone all these thirty years the rolling opera festival ends on september first. we continue with music about a completely different kite order bert's folding dominoes on the old woman at

a market have in common they all part of christophe's assaults new album bake some for me well the french artist is something obvious own collector is always looking for something new to incorporate into his experimental gest pieces in addition he shows videos at his concerts just like not have book. christo chess solos performances are a dialogue between music and images a multi-faceted interaction of sounds voices and images that continuously repeat themselves. when i leave exploit these repetitions allow you to explore the details of much 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 which will cause a bunch of good little food. i hear the same as everyone with this whistle is probably from the shit he put it through the sounds of the people that will this will cook but nothing very distinctive good thought for 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 is about as was then will respond more interested in specific thing as i can hear people speaking good i don't keep us saying stuff like go with all the. folk from clue no haze left things like that and i heard this. subtly. in twenty fourteen or so 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 bad with words but for me to be really interested in the sounds of a place i have to be connected with it was an old walk before just or could make the other girl walk. last year she saw was invited to make music at the studio beneath sia in the french pavilion at the venice biennale overlook the. hot tub.

one evening he came across these young women and recorded them on his phone. i pad. the next day we went to the studio of n h u and i harmonize their singing in attic ords to the melody which. speak honestly didn't speak as if i recognise 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 it your. pistol

shot 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 musician. 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 it's. the truth if. the will. there is another view of this whole if you going to go there it's an excellent practice for hearing music so i thought of a you know are you. sure song doesn't only want to be able to hear sounds perfectly and recognize the nose he wants to capture their consent.

needed 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. putting the world in order bringing in harmony and creating new realities. that's christophe sort of subject. from music to a museum but instead of looking at paintings all sculptress you can drink vodka it sounds weird but the world's first voc a museum has opened guess where of course in poland a newspaper had lined

a vodka is part of polish d.n.a. and we learn more about the history of the national drink during a visit to the vodka museum. warsaw's new vodka museum can make up its visitors the vodka tasting is part of the tour and it promises to be a high proof experience this is the american you don't drink it warm but it should be room temperature that makes a difference high proof alcohol tastes better that way so this is a. must drive you to your home. to fish nash i wouldn't say it tastes good but that would be worrying if i had to ever tasted good to be ok i think of it peaches i know from my own experience the more you drink the better it tastes leave us the smoke that. vodka is part of polish history during world war two for instance poles use the spirit to bribe the german occupiers it's been distilled here for some five hundred years it would first only for medicinal purposes

enjoyment came later as the interactive museum shows that i have just a bore them we can read some very interesting things in this book from the sixteenth century the oldest one here to mention vodka. such as recipes for medicines the mental. holes distilled what nature provided wheat rye and most of all polish potatoes vodka became the national spirit it's imbibed at birthdays weddings and funerals of what. was meant to mark the culture in traditional just like tequila in mexico whisky in scotland and champagne in france the sump on the front. at nearly forty percent alcohol by volume it's not the healthiest drop but more sons new vodka museum does mention that too. and what vodka is for the poets jesus to the swiss many tells of regions are known

for something particular we share some of them in our serious regional success stories for example she's from switzerland as far. would write it was named after the region from which it comes the valley in the canton of byrne this is the original even if for more than one hundred years the cheese has also been produced outside switzerland but for the alpine republic it is clear they can only be one real m. and ta da. intel is a hard cheese made from cows milk and it comes complete with gold. even though many nonspecific also use the name for most intel is the epitome of swiss cheese. markets editor says it is even more. basic as all get picked this cheese has had an impact on our valley and it's still the king of juice is. what makes them and so typical and unique is that it tastes almost sweet. and that's how it's

a valley in the canton of down in west central switzerland some one hundred thousand people live in the region which thrives mainly on dairy farming. to visit emma gave its name to the valley and locals are proud of the bridge with architecture from full centuries. not only in mentalities is made in the region but with its unmistakable red label genuine him until it is easy to recognise. cheesemaker toity has to make sure that the consistency is right he can't lift the cheese himself because it's so big. because of the sights there are historical reasons for that. the trees used to be subject to customs duties at the border and because each wheel was taxed they were made as big as possible about one hundred

kilograms. these weigh about ninety kilos which is a good size for us in the product you're on those models for because we then cut the cheese into small rectangular blocks of one hundred fifty or two hundred grams and for mark and they're expecting this for. tourists can visit a special showcased area and been told to find out exactly how the famous cheese is made. it looks like a traditional farmhouse. the cheese is still made in the traditional manner like most today's visit is one to know where the holes come from. that end with all these giant. emon tallest achaeans with large holes that go through to fermentation process lactic acid fermentation and the breaking down of locked and probiotic acid

fermentation which happens when probiotic acid bacteria are added this only happens in emmen talk. and they produce carbon dioxide that confiscates and that's how these nice round holes are created to get all seem like. this is where the cheese becomes. then pressed into a mold and stored in a bright solution. the results go down well with the physics. ok say it with me give me some she starts to have a certain bite to it via roma has to be a little bit pungent a research fellow at the. 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 find.

it takes about an hour it's across the region of every telephone north to south by car. and a visit to this mountain restaurant is always worthwhile. she finds its way into all the dishes here. your mind i'll just call them blue we use it in our code on blue for quite a heavy dish or we fill our ravioli with it for something lighter with tomatoes and all. tomato to buy it would be. because in a mentality is generous quantities of milk. and without the milk they would be no him until obviously the king of t.v.'s. and what comes from your region and his famous were white that's what you want to know this week maybe it's a special building a tradition of this or a piece of clothing as always you can find all the information on
