perspectives on society that are at once poetically and critical. could see. if you look at these team of thirty includes technicians musicians actors acrobats and other performers they've been staging shows on water since two thousand and four. the town is. it's a theatrical space that you know everyone can relate to it it's much easier to bring people to the water than into a theater to see the water from a different perspective instead of going to a theater to see things that can be interpreted on different levels. it's a challenge to perform on the river where the currents are strong the actors play on moving stages. everything has to be well prepared in advance. some of the moving stages have engines others are battery powered. differ formers use their feet to

steer. their has three roles added to that he has to cycle on water or at least give the impression he's doing so. i got lots of lights and i have to be careful i've also got a bang to drag full of costumes because i changed during the performance. so everything has to be ready as a gas pedal to go backwards and forward on level no and i have to be careful especially with these strong currents so it's extremely complicated in. the troop doesn't only perform on rivers illiterate he can be seen on more conventional stages but mostly on the streets another couple of places. the. director bruno should never learn cofounded iller took me he places great importance on this versatility. he did do that we can thank you for the really idea was to create

a common culture or to see how mythologies can be reinvented in the public space to reinvent mythology culture and create an alternative to the dominant culture of the boers was the culture of for everyone so everyone could understand images of the field and the idea was that this should be free. for the people. to see the performers start getting ready an hour before the performance begins. the audience wait for them to sufficient for the forty five minute show. for it is not just about entertainment it has a political element referencing the situation of refugees at sea for example. because of all this as we've also played donations which have high and low tides of course so we had to take that into account when schedule. program times. wherever

they perform the actors from the fringe theatre troupe below to people create dream worlds that make audiences not want to wake up. there any other performance i know of on the water is the brigance opera festival on a constance there are more around the world to write in and tell me if going to see if there's a production is your favorite thing to do by the water that's that is the question we're asking this week as possible our prize draw just goes well web sites and let us know your favorite water activity and your name will be entered into our draw to win our special your remarks on branded watch the meaning of winning a fellow brit just picks up an award at the emmys in los angeles the latest details are at the top of our express today. on monday thirty four year old british actress clear forward received an emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama series she want america as much coveted t.v.

a sharp mind for the specifically german wildlife the culture and language rachel is the new presenter of meet the germans are available for viewing on d w online. hi i'm rachel and this is me the germans even the germans themselves will tell you i just. don't. know the german language is tough. i mean the germans is a video format where we explore elements of german culture that might seem a bit unusual to people moving here well who've lived here for some time already sometimes it's funny but definitely interesting. new season's first episode deals with surprise surprise the number one german national beverage. just hit the jam. sandwich demonstrates more than one hundred liters of b.s. every year once i was on the spot and they even have a yes or no thank you for the all over the waterway. yeah what's remarkable

about beer in germany is that almost everyone can open a bottle without a bottle opener and that's just peculiar because in britain we can't do that so we think it's quite impressive. check this out. rachel stewart grew up in the west of england and learned french as her fast foreign language and then spanish she thought german sounded too cumbersome then she met her german boyfriend and there was no getting out of learning the language . of the head of the army isn't. dumb should fall. pretty hefty to hold the ball on because actual respect and that's and deal with it meaning it's a c.h.

and it's the border that the fish of the head office management and the danube stay in the hotel after conservative you won't find it in the dictionary but it does make it into the guinness book of raffles for eighty levels of how much in twenty sixteen rachel came to georgia bama she did a traineeship and has since been working in the g.w. culture department now she'd like to share her experiences as an immigrant with honors. i've always been interested in languages and other cultures i think at first glance german culture isn't really all that different from other european cultures but what i find interesting are the little every day things not just the stereotypes but the idiosyncrasies of german culture getting thirsty ok so say you want to sample some of the good stuff yourself you can't just walk into a browser and say i'm guilty of that. you need to know your pills from your buy all my book. and the where regional pride takes cologne and does

a little for example just as the two cities have rival ice hockey teams they also rival beers so don't order a cold. for. the next editions of meet the germans are already in production they'll be looking at fashion in germany and the german sauna culture each episode can be viewed on d.w. online and the d w u two channel. i need befitting now that we feature a gem in our next report one who is using the streets of berlin as studio and i am busy law is it so easy to rush around and not take in the beauty around you i mean who ever looks down at a drain and thought how awesome that design on it was very few of us i imagine but the lady who did exactly that is now printing those designs on t. shirts giving a new meaning to underground. when ever france half goes out on the streets of

berlin she keeps our eye to the ground. everyone else walks by without noticing but she stops and looks she's a textile designer and she loves manhole covers to her their art on the street. when i'm up i'm always on the look out and i really do find new things it's fun when you find new things it's like finding a treasure. she had the idea to print manhole covers on t. shirts and bags. needs to some tape some ink and a knife or just the right composition she's especially taken with palin symbol bloodbath. that the noise printing a new element is great it's really fun. especially when you see it printed for the first time. so this may look a little silly. i'm not exactly sure why. do it this way i just started doing it

and i had a great time i like to work outside and you have the social contact it's a whole new approach to the work. she has to work fast before the ink dries in the sun she lands the t. shirt on the street presses it down and then fills it off she calls it pirate printing and strictly speaking the designs are pirated i think it's not actually about pirating but about drawing attention to these completely overlooked patents and giving them new value. now the pirate printer has turned her idea into a fashion label and she's not just printing in berlin anymore. interesting manhole covers can be found the world over in vienna paris amsterdam and lisbon every single day shirt is handmade and unique sandusky it's great that people like the manhole cover t. shirts and street prints and that they appreciate having a t. shirt that's different maybe they feel they'd rather have a hand printed t.

shirt that really comes from one particular city and not just some random t. shirt. and a france raffle always keeps an eye open for new ideas she's going to try out a new pattern here from this storm drain great pattern jumps out at up but it takes a hammer and chisel to get the top of. her studio is the street some passers by stop and watch. as a long while there was a woman this morning who said i've never seen anything like that in berlin i explained to her what i was doing but i can believe that people have never seen this when i was in before. when people start paying attention to manhole covers the guardians of the law start paying attention to them but so far nobody has stopped the pirate printer from doing her work. all some grass. isn't it super. i mean it doesn't really bother anybody the police actually think

it's nice just like other people do and we clean up afterwards so the cover ends up cleaner than it was before. what's more the pirates bring to the ranks people's gaze downwards gives the manhole cover a whole new meaning. just goes to say doesn't it thinking outside the box is often the key to success and happiness and that might just apply to the activities that are coming up in our high five today yes that's next time for five fun facts of the week and we're going to now feature some rather unique ways to entertain your dogs. find the final usual fun activities for your dogs. welcome to the dog beach but don't expect to play go fetch canines come here to ride the waves out

a year after the wall was built and documented the walls impact on people's lives and how it eventually fell. in swaziland to fly high this museum stands for freedom that's the main point from the very beginning of the museum has been an expression of print chest against the wall. the mission statement was we want freedom in unity. with the i was i'll give you forty five and i hiked. visitors from all over the world come to learn about the extremes people went to to cross the border and the tragedies of failed attempts. sixty thousand automatic spring guns were installed on the inner german border any movement and they automatically fired shrapnel and soldiers had orders to shoot anyone in the death strip escaping the east meant risking your life. the

museum is still in touch with many of the surviving escapees among them they are doing fees are someone help to alleviate berlin by giving her a swiss passport wearing a real fur coat and acting the part she tricked her way through passport control if she'd been caught she'd have gone to prison. if i kept it as is she didn't really check me properly should give me a bit of a jet she looked like she thought i was an arrogant swiss person then i realized oh right i'm not a nice then or anymore so i lifted my name is even higher in the. plant at least lynas didn't swagger like that they thought i must be a real swiss woman with. one of the most spectacular escapes happened in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine in a homemade hot air balloon two couples and four children survived a half hour flight from east germany to bavaria they painstakingly stitched the balloon together from pieces of waterproof material they collected from many

sources. only a few pieces of the berlin wall remain including this section at the berlin wall memorial. when it was still standing the death strip separated east and west friends and families. the founder of the checkpoint charlie museum brant was an anti nazi resistance fighter. deliverance widows says he helped reporters with their work during the cold war. but before that is that there was a building across the street that was in ruins from the war up the store so it's got a photographer there fell and seriously injured himself when my husband heard about it he brought all the people here instead the room was warm and dry and they weren't in danger they could sit and watch what was happening at checkpoint charlie through the window and respond to it they took photos hundred reports.

in these rooms chronicle different continued to document what happened on the border between east and west even while the wall was standing people brought him objects that used to help them escape like this mining car. they used to build a tunnel when fifty seven people were able to flee to west berlin the museum now attracts around eight hundred fifty thousand visitors a year. we just know the walls so that in this exhibition you can see many things and many real objects and many stories and various impressed me something about these so if they think they succeeded to make. i thought it it couldn't be through but we have seen the. new vehicles were indeed prepared for all eventualities like this car with steel panels to protect against gunfire. the museum shows the suffering of the communist east
