of festivals i'm your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up on the program. the women only at europe's a motorcycle event for girls called petra let's bikers come from all over the world cardboard only a french artist can charge gigantic buildings out of this material. but 1st it's coming up roses in brussels that's because roses and other colorful flowers are decking the halls and rooms of the city's gothic town hall for the by annual flower time exhibition more than 30 international florus are taking part to show off their creations during the 5 day event while we accompanied a belorussian flower designer to see how her creations represent the belgian capital. i deep in concentration the tiniest account of a is making a few final tweaks she and her team have arranged thousands of flowers with

a big opening just around the corner she wants everything to be perfect but she knows how important it is to stay calm. get a run around and check everything if something doesn't work i go over and say with details need to be changed i'm never stressed on big projects because i trust my team i'm on it. today is the big day for natalia. in just a few alice flower time will begin at brussels city hall the exhibition will see the gothic building transformed into a floral paradise the juxtaposition of contemporary design in these grand historic rooms creates a unique work of art around 70 florists and volunteers from more than 13 countries are here this year to offer their own regional spin. like this japanese pull sled.

and these woven pound leaves from indonesia. jewelry and clothing can also be seen among the unusual creations. and this room traditionally used for weddings is decorated with thousands of roses and ok it's in classic white . the day before the event there's still not much to receive an italian and her team stands by building the supposed to stop. it up on the list she's originally from bella reuss but her inspiration comes from her new home in brussels which is reflected in her choice of flowers. is a key for me our kids mean luxury the globe are yours the glory also is a tropical flower and millet is a simple plant. so usually i'd never make a bouquet with these flowers and the reason i've chosen them for this exhibition is

because i think brussels represents diversity in comics you see here. this team from beijing also once they flower is to be symbolic. head design a teen a new hopes to build bridges between china and the west as a team a duty zhang explains she's not only a local florist an artist also is a young person from the new generation so this generation in china really wants to really like to reach out and make friends with international people. the grand unveiling is about to commence the exhibition will run for 5 days and is expected to attract more than $15000.00 physicians. it's amazing pretty amazing it's so big sis so so just next to the studio is i don't know that's the interesting thing is just like the old it it's nice and

something new and surprising every time it's really impressive into the cook and. the tension has given way to tears of joy. all the hard work has paid off. now tell us a canova and his team can now sit back enjoy the show and smell the roses. right you want to think that motorbikes are just for boys the petrol lights will make you think again now these are women motorcyclists from all over the world who gather once a year for a big motorcycle festival held right here in germany from harley riders to be owned up and paid for these were show that they have what it takes to ride a motorcycle and what about the guys well sorry mate. only the ladies are in the driver's seat for this event. the smell of gasoline hangs in the end

there are cool bikes i'm seeing plenty of horse power and not a man in signs. at the petronas festival everything is about women and men machinists. around $400.00 motorcycle love us from around the lilt have come to take comfort in europe's biggest female motorcycle festival. it is. the best festival and all of the world and i go to a lot of festivals right out here for. it's ok to meet so many. folks and i am so fields of b.s. . the festival is being held on the signs of a former open const coal mine closed for open this the city of the lion. located roughly a 2 hour motorcycle ride away from berlin the site boasts everything a bike you could want the race track and every night and even.

but for these bikers there is no time to relax. now given your role. at moto yoga the festival participants can work on their flexibility balance and mindfulness all of which are important when riding a motorcycle. john tesh a lot of message knows what matters most. to do motocross or ride off road like i do you need to have gone back and stomach muscles because you're constantly going up out of your seat and down again so you need to strengthen your back as well as your stomach on your entire gore has to be firm at the top you buy and that's what it's all about in off road training these enjoy my bikes are slim. than street models and the times have to transfer and basically you need to ride standing up on usual even for bikers with plenty of experience.

but canadian yvonne ducks worth his while to venture into this new terrain the bikes are completely different than what i'm used to so they're much higher but it's all a lot of balance and the way you move your hips and throw your weight so i mean that's a it's a great practice the workshop is headed by tina myin one of the very few female bankers to take part in the debt car rally the famous off road in joran has raced at petra nets she passes on her experience of tackling daunting to arrange. what slides of round the ground is a bit like a dance partner you don't know you get impulses and you pick them up on the bike and use them on the road you do everything to keep the times from sliding out but she did let it slide its funds. among the festival highlights on the sprint races here the fastest ride to compete against one another in various. according to the

farmers the engines. needs 200 metres from start to finish one of the competitors the channel to cooper check she finished 2nd in this race but to her having fun comes 1st. so you're kind of outside time and space sort of like you're in the tunnel it gives me the jitters and i feel like i'm floating in a new. launch the picture that's festival in 2016. she hopes it will continue to strengthen the female community. for me there's a certain thing i really like the exchange with other women we see things i see i mean so in my personal. perience you don't have to prove yourself to have sharp elbows. here in the head she lets people perceive you differently and accept

you so. if you don't know something we can do something they'll help you right away . even away from women you don't yet have a motorcycle license to join in on the fun. we've all been faced with the dilemma of what to do with boxes when they are empty well the french a visual artist olivier goes to it has an idea he create structures like this one here and he makes it a collective project while he. has created huge cardboard buildings in cities all over the world bringing people of all walks of life together in the name of art while we went to northern france so what is the latest contemporary installation. all cardboard boxes

tape and lots of helping hands are all that only means for his monumental art this is urban art of another kind 14 cardboard buildings up to 27 meters tall and weighing one and a half tons each he's having a city built within a city on the waterfront in the after friends his largest cardboard creation to date does that make him nervous. we could build a lot more here without with the weather conditions actually make me more nervous than the construction itself. here just remember. that was almost completely destroyed in the 2nd world war later french architect. designed housing for around 60000 people a masterpiece of urban planning. ology cost ted drew inspiration from the an eskimo world heritage site for his cardboard installation.

it probably. isn't so pretty. you need to do that again it's fascinating work and a bit like being an architect. i have kids and as a boy i myself used to play with cardboard boxes just what you're asking but you get your way you can be anything you want to a little kid with a ship an airplane or whatever he said you know truth and. these monumental cardboard concepts would hardly be feasible without plenty of help from the people of. the buildings are made of some 3000 rolls of tape and 23000 boxes far fewer than bricks in the originals they take just one week of construction not much to build an entire city but it did require months of planning and precision drawings much like an architect with many. the 46 year old artist's favorite piece is the tower.

this is a replica inspired by st joseph's in the mail ever this year the germans now has to test the limits of the limits we're going to build it's about 26 meters 26 and a half almost 27 meters high can win votes that make. participatory art gets people involved. fabulous here in the open and nice whether it's extraordinary you know that's kind of a stock you know there she was like you get outside it's creation. everybody works together so. it's a chance for everyone to pitch in and help out. the artist sees working and building together and the energy that is set free as an essential part of this art happenings now the buildings are almost done. with only

a few meters to go a strong wind starts blowing with gusts of 60 kilometers an hour some of the buildings start to sway. equal casserole critical winds being a 1000000 really there it's attacking to do much better service too bad we can't get as far as she hoped. but at the moment it's just too dangerous to have people working clothes that you can really move it with. nature puts a premature end to the construction and in the morning down the tower collapses. others fall victim to the wind. only 4 of the buildings came through the night intact the ruins of the others inspire the public to make a few spontaneous creations of their own. but oh yeah we've collected pieces from all over the place and now we've built this piece here it's on. the. her board city stands for just 2 days. and then the

big demolition operation begins the only piece not to be torn apart is this tower it's carefully hoisted up and carried away as requested by the people of. the demolition is also a part of the only vehicles ted's concept the cardboard city is meant to be ephemeral. so that's it now it's over this is really the end of the project. it only takes a little while before the place is empty. but it's fun to watch the people laughing shouting. and enjoying themselves. even with the inclement weather the happening was a complete success and cost is already planning his next cardboard city.

today if you want to tell something to your friend or neighbor who lives across the alps well you probably reach for your cell phone but back in the day and i'll porn was used to all different sound sequences had different messages the out form was also used by shepherds to collect their cattle in the mountains while today it is considered a national symbol of switzerland at that country's biggest alpine festival we find out why. switzerland prides itself on stunning mountain panorama breathtaking scenery and the national symbol that's music to the ears of many alpina. thousands of fans flocked to dance in the canton of valis to pay homage to this

instrument that's a whopping 3 and a half meters long. from belgium for all the flemish part i come from holland for my just a very good english. i come from germany from china haven and we really like alcohol music that's why we're here you know. there are around 4000 active alcohol and players in switzerland here and 150 musicians from around the globe have gathered for the country's largest alcohol and festival most of them are over 50 but they are also young instrumentalists with a passion for the alpine horn. the trend seems to be moving towards younger people. perhaps they're trying to get out of the. and playing jazz chromatic pitches in. order. as much as possible. so in this movie his.

depending on the horn players can produce 12 to 16 different notes enough to perform contemporary pieces. the international group the alpine sisters specializes in this kind of music. it's not possible to play everything of course but the style. is like if you imagine a trumpet without the. limits of possibilities for a while it was like really as i said before it was going to relay the folklore but now it's like making really a comeback. and i guess that no it's really cool again it's really trendy. we. originally shepherds use the point as a way to communicate with one another over long distances and not just in europe

shepherds and asia also played similar instruments but they were both close to 500 years of history the alpine whom is being heard less and less these days no doubt is considered to be switzerland have this here almost everyone plays one including pet t.c.m. one of my mother is an open player also she plays with me in the group and i guess is just. i just started because she was playing its and i thought it was a cool instrument and. now here i am. play is also of course lead instruments to play in switzerland some 40 instrument makers specialize in crafting alpine horns once one of us saw is one of them it takes him 2 weeks to make an album but the wood from the red spruce must drive for 5 to 8 years before he can start working on it. where she's

a tree that grows in poor soil. one that grows very slowly due to the rocky ground . as its brains are very constricted the tree grows quite slowly but that's the kind of what we look for we call it. is the same kind of wood used to make violins guitars and other musical instruments. like. the men from the tao proudly uphold other swiss traditions to what's known as calm and. cool with huge cowbells. really nice of the festival comes when the $150.00 alpine one players perform together that's bound to be the case again next year too when al gore and fans flocked to southern switzerland for the 19th edition of the. want to learn more about european lifestyle and culture. when you come to believe.
