only a promise to one song only to the jungle and return to the concrete and construct. the result reverse culture shock. you realize how strange that artificial little. really connected to life. from the forest starts. w. . how to from 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 fringe anything go. to your house of horrors first walk on museum has opened in walsall. and the big trip to switzerland to home on the famous and. i borrow is in the festival fever at the moment among all of us the french festival is in full swing it would have started in nine hundred forty seven as an event for fringe groups of that time eight independent theater groups organized this unofficial event which took place alongside be 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 performance to get people to come to their show.

every august musicians acrobats and theater groups converge on edinburgh scotland for the fringe festival and for more than three weeks the venerable. historical old town becomes a stage for performers from all over the world. thank. god they fell full time coming out saying that the sixty's time time to. say much is just as well have been saying it's unique. as far as i'm aware this place else in the world where art just lives and breathes it's overwhelming but i think that's the best part of frames where you go you get pulled into one direction or another you don't quite know what you're going to do. to the performer spend the day trying to get as many people as they can to come to their show. you come to. places like that. the more than thirty five hundred shows range from cabaret to stand up comedy to classical theater and musicals competition isn't tests and in

the open air. it's sad 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 jumping up pillars to try to just drop a tight ship because there's so many people have got somebody different thing. singer emma jean has come with her band all the way to scotland from australia to play their latest program 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 and 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 bad because you are out showing so it's a whole new world out but after last night we noticed that the ticket sales have spiked so i think word of mouth is a really. i really. that's probably the best way supplied to show you

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 theaters and even clubs and anyone who can talk their way into one of the three hundred seventeen venues can join. there's a cultural democracy that underpins the friendship so it doesn't matter if you're kind of soprano or you're an artist who's performing for the first time you get exactly the same coverage in the brings program you get exactly the same treatment exactly the same slot and the bad news that goes to the news that there's a kind of beautiful a quality to. a 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'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 xeni black and merciless. they didn't even have to drum up an audience. it's so much easier to sell these people recognise me and think about my back i know the lives of people who come up that i know and it's not every child watching this 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 to follow. you know only for 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 sing the suffering and confidence the message is simple a broken heart can heal if you learn to accept yourself as you walk. with. her voice is amazing i thought it was very unique not what i was expecting until hopefully the audience members 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 emma 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 it's all about sports let's find out more and it is 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 teen plants was the scene of a terror. as to attack the organizers want to 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 let's viler 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. i know traditionally summer opera festival is underway and for ronan italy thousands of music lovers use the opportunity to take in grand productions of the city's ensuring. a production of joy kino racine is barber of seville written in seven hundred seventy five has just had its premiere for more performances are scheduled anyone all these thirty the rhone opera festival ends on september first.

we continue with music about a completely different kite auto bert's folding dominoes on the old woman at a market have in common they all part of christophe's assaults new album big song for me well the french artist is something obvious own collector is always looking for something new to incorporate into his experimental just pieces and addition he shows videos at his concerts just like not have book. christofer solos performances are a dialogue between music and images a multi-faceted interaction of sounds voices in 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 she 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 to move a little for. a year the same as everyone but this whistle is probably from the ship the people that if you sounds of it people will look but nothing very distinctive the kids and their bikes with the adults i miss the others but there's nothing yet that i'm really interested sure the. result is about three of them will respond more interested in specific thing as i can hear people speaking up to keep us saying stuff i go with all the. phone from you know the case unless 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 a. possible but that's not bad for the church 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 looking like the

other girl walking. last year she saw was invited to make music at the studio in the french but in the end at the venice biennale zero zero zero zero zero zero 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 shuttle has perfect pitch he needs it for his audio visual art he's been developing his sense of hearing since childhood. to the music so my dad was a musician and. that 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 to them with we shouldn't receive. the will. there is another view of the soul if you don't listen to those 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 consent. we did to do divert a goal is to reveal things that are already there this is just a lucky solution like you exist and these are. like that sound the idea is to bring everything back into one straight line. move towards. putting the world in order bringing in harmony and creating new realities. that's christophe's whole subject. from music to a museum but instead of looking at paintings all sculptress you can drink what

sounds weird but the world's first voc a museum has opened as where of cross in poland a newspaper headline of 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 it is the amount of what you don't drink it warm but it should be room temperature that makes a difference high proof alcohol tastes better that way and so this is a. must drive you to your health. to fish now i wouldn't say it tastes good but that would be worrying if i had to ever tasted it good to be ok i think of it peaches i know from my own experience the more you drink the better it tastes in smoke that. vodka is part of polish history during world war two for instance poles

used the spirit to bribe the german occupiers it's been distilled here for some five hundred years it went first only for medicinal purposes enjoyment came later as the interactive museum shows that as just a bore. 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 until the polls distilled what nature provided wheat rye and most of all polish potatoes vodka became the national spirit it imbibed at birthdays weddings and funerals over what. was meant to mark polish culture and tradition but it's just like tequila in mexico with 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 put warsaw's 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 cheese from switzerland as far. as would white 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 that can only be one real m. and. anyhow it's a holiday cheese made from cows milk and it comes complete with homes even though many. also use the name the most and intel is the epitome of swiss cheese. markets editor says it is even more. get picked this cheese has had an

impact on our valley and it's still the king of cheeses. what makes em and toast a typical and unique is that it tastes almost sweet. and so is the 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. did with it emma gave its name to the valley and locals are proud of the grapes with architecture from for centuries. not only in intel cheese 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. those are the underside so there are historical

reasons for that. the chinese 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 into the lot these weigh about ninety kilos which is a good size for us in the products on those school. because we then cut the cheese into small rectangular blocks of one hundred fifty or two hundred grams and four mobs and their effectiveness for. tourists can visit a special showcased area and i've been told to find out exactly how the famous cheese is made. yeah. 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 element all these giant are also emman tall is

a cheese 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 em and talk. and they produce carbon dioxide that confiscates and that's how these nice round holes are created to get also and. this is where the cheese becomes. then pressed into a mold and stored in a bright solution. the results go down well with the visit. that casey had with me giving some she starts to have a certain bite to it via roma has to be a little bit pungent if you research a failed 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. it takes about an hour it's across the region of evan telephoned north to south by car. and a visit to this mountain restaurant is always worthwhile. she finds its way into all the dishes here. my mom just called them blue we use it in our coat on blue for quite a heavy dish or we fill our ravioli with it for something lighter with tomatoes and all. as a model to buy i will be flying best in. the shadows in a mental pretties generous quantities of milk. and without the milk there would be no him until obviously the king of cheese. and what comes from your region and his famous white that's what we want to know
