thank. god we have never seen something like this so it was it was great it was really great. it's an ensemble of colors and images that might not be easy to connect. but the whole is very beautiful. put the board for the children love the fireworks the flames and the colors. of the show was very. it made a dream basically. the show tells the story of a man whose life goes off the rails one morning. everything he thinks and reads suddenly becomes reality. dominick knew well as one of the show's directors. we're trying to create

perspectives on society that are at once poetic 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. 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. given the large dog lots of lights and i have to be careful i've also got to bangor drag full of costumes because i change during the performance. so everything has to be ready as a gas pedal to go backwards and forward on of all and i have to be careful especially with these strong currents so it's extremely complicated. the troop doesn't only perform on rivers illiterate peak can be seen on more conventional stages but mostly on the streets and other public places. director bruno should never learn cofounded to pete he places great importance on this versatility. because if you did do that we can compute the really idea was to create a common culture going 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 bush was he a culture for everyone so everyone could understand images of the field and the idea was that this should be free. to the performer starts getting ready an hour before the performance begins. the audience waits for then 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 also play donations which have high and low tides of course so we had to take that into account when scheduling. times. wherever

they perform the actors from the french theater troupe you know 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 brigands opera festival on a constance there are more on the wild deer right in and tell me if going to see a theater production is your favorite thing to do by the water that is the question we are asking this week as part of our prize draw this 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 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 to manage as much coveted t.v.

a shop line for the specifically german way of life the culture and language rachel is the new presenter of meet the germans have available for viewing on d w online. hi i'm rachel and this is me the germans even the germans themselves will tell you . that they. know the german language is tough along. 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. season's first episode deals with surprise surprise the number one german national beverage. justice the german. damage demonstrates more than one hundred liters of pm every year once i was on the spot and they can even have a beer for saying that you put theo all over the net away. 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 i can. check this out. rachel stuart grow up in the west of england and learn french is half assed foreign language and then spanish she told german sounded too cumbersome then she met her german boyfriend and there was no getting out of learning the language. and the head of that part isn't don't know fasts in they have no hope that they are. the first back and that's the real what it means it's a signal to subordinate officials of the head office management of the danube seeing the electrical services do it find in the dictionary but it did make it into the guinness book of records for eighteen records over i'm in twenty sixteen rachel

came to georgia valor she did a traineeship and has since been working in the d.w. culture department now she was. to share her experiences as an immigrant with others. as it happens 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 here that. you need to know your pills from your buy all my book. and 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. 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 to fit in now that we feature a gem in our next report one here is using the streets of berlin as it is and how busy la is it's so easy to rush around and not take in the beauty around you i mean who ever looks down at the drain and thought how awesome that design on that was very few about simon but the lady who did exactly that is now printing those designs on t. shirts giving a new meaning to underground. when ever fans 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 they're not 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 she needs is some tape some ink and a knife or just for bright composition she's especially taken with palin symbol bloodbath. now the noise wrenching 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 lays the t. shirt on the street presses it down and then pills 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. 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 t. shirt is handmade and unique sandusky it's great that people like a manhole cover tee 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 rafa 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 of town but it takes a hammer and chisel to get the top of. her studio is the street some passers by stop and watch. that along well there was a woman this morning who said i'd never seen anything like that in berlin i explained to her what i was doing but i can believe that people have never seen mr hyde in the full of the hats. when people start paying attention to manhole covers the guardians of the law start paying attention to them but so far nobody's stopped a pirate printer from doing her work. all some grass. isn't it super. i know 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 it was more of a pirate printer durant's people's gaze downwards gives the manhole cover a whole new meaning. just because it's so doesn't that thinking outside the box is often the case a 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 new usual fun activities for your dog. welcome to the dog beach but don't expect to play go fish canines come here to ride the waves out number five dogs surfing is not surprisingly especially popular in california. who loves you and your pooch can go looking for point

mask that. outfit is this is a we take a trip back in time that is the theme of the series this week and the reason why yesterday we looked since the history of the brandenburg gate checkpoint charlie is a novel but in major la mothe the museum that office visit has a glimpse of the struggles germans had during the time of the. during the cold war checkpoint charlie was the best known border crossing between east and west berlin today it's one of the german companies biggest tourist attractions after world war two the four wartime allies divided up the city this was a gateway between the american and soviet sectors checkpoint charlie museum was opened in one nine hundred sixty two a year after the wall was built and documented the walls impact on people's lives and how it eventually fell. to five this museum stands

for freedom that's the main point from the very beginning of the museum has been an expression of precious to gainst the wall. the mission statement was we want freedom in unity. your voice your pride 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 there are doria fees up someone to 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 if she didn't really check me properly now she gave me a bit of a dirty look like she thought i was an arrogant swiss person then i realized oh right i'm not in east berlin 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 but the whole basis was. one of the most spectacular escapes happened in one nine hundred seventy nine in a homemade hot air balloon two couples and four children survived the half hour flight from east germany to bavaria they painstakingly stitched a balloon together from pieces of waterproof material that 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 by no different was an anti nazi resistance fighter. deliverance widows says he helped reporters with their work during the cold war. to get bored of his ivy there was a building across the street that was in ruins from the war up the store so that's 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 that fish. in these rooms reiner hildebrandt continued to document what happened on the border between east and west even while the wall was standing people brought him objects

they'd used to help them escape like this mining car. they used to build the 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 but in this exhibition it has in many things and many real objects and many stories and various impressed me something about these peoples they succeeded to make. i thought it couldn't be through but we have seen that. the 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 and it serves as a reminder of this chapter in german history. tomorrow

in the series will dive into the history of spies here in germany in the cold war so do. chain and then remember to check us out online if you've missed any of their posts you can find them again that that is all we have time for on the shites and say that so until tomorrow from all of us campbell and enjoy the rest as a thanks for watching. on the next edition of your own that. hamburger from the water and the city has lots of it the elder river the lake sized ulster river and more there are rowboats in the morning and romantic bungalows for the sunset cambered exists on board next time on your own max.
