12:34 am
a show i love to somebody i love the components with fire were quite impressive and will continue to yours them as if i really enjoyed seeing the whole thing. just move on so cooking as that's what it was worth it who cares about the weather it always rains here none of us is what we said we don't want very well but also and it was very rewarding working on the concept in the whole project itself it was a lot of fun but for centuries awesome cathedral has some just a place of pilgrimage for millions of the thankful but this special event for its fortieth anniversary as a world heritage site has drawn towards from all backgrounds from around the world . well the french capital has started lots of fashion fans at the moment from around the world on that and today's express. on monday french fashion house christian dior opened paris fashion week it was a show that dispensed with the distinction between art and fashion.

decisions the lean on each week begins on when. today turning germany's capital into a hot spot for the contemporary art scene. more than one hundred thousand visitors are expected to ring the five day event two hundred fifty are for naked institutions will be offering glimpses of beauty of the elements in the art scene. works by swish conceptual artist your yoshihiro for instance examine the effects of nuclear testing. also on hand is the. by german sculptor. the reflecting sculpture in the currently empty from ted weeks cathedral achieves its full effect only after sunset. he is an entertainer composer grammy winner and above all a gifted piano player some even call the canadian born jason back a shadow virtual as though how do you imagine someone like that on stage it might
12:37 am
not be what you're thinking because she took on solace as the artist calls himself performs in a bathrobe and slippers he has gone through some huge developments in his life from punk to professional musician and more now the new documentary set up and play the piano so as his incredible career. i was told by become. your own lawyer. to upper class chili gonzales on stage during the boundaries between passing punk jazz and classical like. my own kin tight shots in my childhood i was torn between two extremes i had my grandfather giving me these respectful piano lessons but then i go watch m.t.v. or m.t.v. kool. aid the film shut up and play the piano shows how canadian jason beghe came to europe in the late one nine hundred ninety s.
12:38 am
and morphed into chile gonzales. classically trained pianist became the rapping self-proclaimed president of the berlin underground it's a wild journey into the universe of an eccentric artist. from if the autobiography or memoirs of figures like klaus kinski had a great influence on me if you go if you close can see we were kids memoirs and i know they're not true this and this is this but fantasy is intimacy fun to see on stage i share my fantasies of the bruno my fantasy is to be a musical genius he is was a kind of show again he's my fantasy is to be this maestro who so disrespectful coming to a concert hall like the philharmonia in his bathrobe and slippers month and pontiff and phil how many zines to compose music. here to play the piano. this woman is one of several chilly gonzales double gamers who appear in the film and who must prove to the crowd that they can match the maestro's abilities as an
12:39 am
entertainer. do. you. feel. in the preliminary stages and during the research i was really taken by this character chile gonzales because it's all the effort he goes into this musical genius who switches so easily between genres who just launches into rap. and you don't want to miss the fact is that in the next day he's a solo piano distributed laying on the philharmonic call. he's a videsh and if i only came to see the resistance he must keep breaking down when i started working with him he's the units and that aren't in my utmost respect for this but i wanted my film to show how much work goes into making art. this piece is from his new album solo piano three guns i was surprised his
12:40 am
underground rep fans when he recorded his first solo piano album in two thousand and four. is a sort of piano album that solo piano album was a bit of a side project to which i had very low expectations but when i listened to the reactions people spoke differently about my solo piano work than about the rest of my work sinusoidal piano if you ask i just just has to find mine and i like that and it's my guess if my guy like it when people whisper start and psyched. your album helped me. and although he continued to work on pop and rap projects the piano has remained his focus ever since not just the instrument itself but also the way it helps him discover things about himself and the world around him. and then he said this note. or i would create a resolution. but in solo piano three i understood for the first
12:41 am
time that i can just leave that just an it note this or not is not last and. here we have the wrong note but it relates tension no resolution. shut up and play the piano is a playful and an archaic portrait of a man getting to know himself through music. and it should only serve to make chili gonzales more successful than ever. seen a lot of. the super as i try very very hard to create a connection with the audience and the smoke that's my priority it's like the first time you go to bed with a new partner that you try it hard and then you wait for a reaction done because a positive negative is this put on a playful person and every audience is like my new bed partner is political is v minor annoyance but part.
12:42 am
and anyone who wants to help the entertainer crowd surfing now has the chance chilly gonzales is on tour until the summer of twenty nine t. . so he's not only a good piano player but also fit as a fiddle that brings us directly to today's episode of extraordinary that takes where getting really sporty and the possible if someone you know plenty of videos taken by drones you know it's breathtaking landscapes for. a bird's eye view for example but the ones i'm no longer only used for camera shots are just a hobby pilots don't frying has developed from a leisure sport to a professional one since a few years there were even professional races we accompanied miles of my bone from the german team to the competition in brussels so op and the way.
12:43 am
much of my balloon come exonerate from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour into seconds without moving an inch he's a pilot or rather a drone pilot munches in brussels competing in a group champions league race as part of the german team he started piloting dreams three years ago. you know i have my doubts because if you had some point everyone thinks how great it would be to be able to fly over houses or train you can align to that moment of feeling free that was great that's what toy teams from eight countries compete in the dream champions league the d.c.l. they maneuver the quad copters through an obstacle course is fastest possible using special equipment i mean that it's like here in the d.c. you know we use relatively large drones they measure three hundred twenty five millimeters diagonally and have a minimum weight of seven hundred eighty grams and if you hear we have goggles the same ones we were on stage basically i have two lenses and then in two monitors.
12:44 am
essentially you have the image from a quad come to right before your eyes here from this camera all caesar come out put in all direct. to race in brussels monitor and his three fellow team members hope to show what they can do. they all began as amateur pilots but now they're professionals performing in front of an audience as a sports drone racing has become professional to help advise us all founded the d.c.l. . three years ago it's now one of the world's largest professional leagues his biggest success so far was staging a race on the famous shows easy in paris where a hundred fifty thousand fans follow the action. for. good in america in years. people are training more and preparing themselves better for the races. and they often attend various events the community the community knows the pilots and slowly they're becoming their heroes so long time to the heroes one of
12:45 am
those heroes is eighteen year old luke bannister he won the first drone grand prix in dubai at age fifteen even though most of the british team the favorites in brussels. i was pretty lucky when i started ice i thought this is a hobby when sports very young and like racing it just started and it was never really big leagues we just went to fail through it all mates and gates and i got scouted for a team and that's where it all started and since then it's just been yeah just became pressure became something i do for lending money to my boom hasn't made it that far yet he's a systems engineer but he devotes most of his free time to flying his drone and posting his latest stunts on his you tube channel but he dreams of eventually earning a living from his home. run by one and of course when you're flying here in the d.c.u. you have that in the back of your mind. well i think i figure i'll give it two or
12:46 am
three years and see if something comes of it. if i can earn money and make my living from it for the. progressions in a sort of model for leaving. but first the german team has to win some races in brussels they get off to a good start but one by one bite and his team members crash out of the race. after the first round it's game over the boys and i give mine. we need to finally store a victory last year the guy stored several ways this year things are going so well and so. much for luke bannister things are going swimmingly the british team wins raced off to rinks against spain the u.s. and the czech republic truly in the favorites and wind up in first place once again .
