but i do need to keep a bit of the books for over rich and home the force i'm. the most recent at the combine that missed the boat on the. dragon those were called the 3 years. of books on. these giant monsters are trolling areas around copenhagen we'll find out why later on in the show. hello and welcome to another fun edition of your own max with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up. capturing the beauty of unique bookstores

. and furniture is full imagination yet still functional. but we kick off the show with a balancing act of sorts the sport of slacklining or balancing on a high wire is hard enough and requires a great deal of concentration now add the extra challenge of playing an instrument or performing theatrical now by that may sound impossible but this is what a group of french performers are doing a fun high we caught up with them at a church in france for one of their latest shows. acrobatics at dizzying heights on a high line. it leads to the abbey church of scent and baby and southeastern france. here the group will do so is putting on

a show that combines music dancing acrobatics and puppet theatre with the extreme sports. we used to fashion which is highly i mean to make a scene india so high and. yet we just want to bring. in the real space to. play music before. turning and. keeping your balance at such heights is already quite upbeat but performing a corny crapshoot team while making music on top now that's showmanship extraordinaire. when you focus on the music balancing on the line and performing it happens automatically and before i put my end you know i'm like oh it will never be a bird i need my arm to balance and once i've stopped playing i just can't do it

and when they play music under 90 forget that the monsters and. the members of the we do this have been performing together since 2016. the highlight of their career thus far was performing on chan many mountain in china. they also staged a multimedia show in a cave in the south of france. 2 would be to we try to introduce elements inspired by the local culture whenever we can at a concert in china we played a chinese drum on the net. and in the grotto we told a local legend. you see it's. we're always searching for the most interesting places to perform so you have to be performing in a church it's a 1st time and to be performing in a garden like this and in a religious context. it's really special for us to change the pre conceived

ideas about locations like this. but the artists from our say came to sometimes 2 weeks before their show to develop the concept onsite. don't like just kind of. show we do so it means we. are from what we discover here so we're in and we speak with the people of the village and we like to include. the place where we are from and. is. town chronicler. one of her tales which deals with the villages social problems in the last century became the central theme of the performance.

they recounted local history but transposed it making it more monton and accessible to everyone who will want playing a musical instrument up there on a slant line without losing your balance that's impressive but. most of the groups performances also feature handmade props created with lots of love and care. we are gifted with this and we used. to make. the french performers are now looking for another unusual place to present their daring concept. after their debut performance on a church they're now dreaming of stringing their high lines between the chips and pyramids. we're all afraid of running into that stary monster in the forest where things to danish

artist thomas dumbo coming across a giant troll is a real possibility for the last couple of years dumbo has been building and hiding oversized monsters like little tilda in the countryside around copenhagen and now he's put together a troll treasure hunt but as he sees it there is no reason to be afraid. hiding in the forest while state has storm is watching every and long live is enjoying the beach. these mystical giant trolls live in denmark. but what is going on and how did you take it here. i think like anybody else my age who up on fairy tales and folklore stories so i think that's also why i like to tell them oh and i for me trolls they don't need to be like evil they can also be good and in my favorite trolls they are the protectors of nature.

right now thomas down by one to his team of volunteers have only got eyes for this trunk. so this one here is called evolve and it's like the little old but very intelligent troll. van is one of 10 trolls taking cover in the countryside the story is a well known danish fairy tale thomas plans to finish the sculpture in 10 days at 4 metres in height is one of the smaller. some of the trolls sculptures can reach up to 18 meters high i like them to play with scale and make us feel small compared to them because we are really small compared to nature she's in the right materials is an important part of the princess this one here is made from a pole that i found just around the corner here and it's the from the local fisherman they use them to tie their fishing that's all of course we are in the

harbor. this one is the inscription stone which is actually made from the same wood that comes from those rolling wagons that got a whole bunch of in the workshop. aside from nails and glue thomas only uses discarded wood he collects ontario and sits in his studio in copenhagen this what infinite used to belong to a shop big. to shut down. and i think that projects such as my art can maybe help alter people's perspective on trash from being something worthless to something with value 1st thomas makes sketches of his ideas. the heads and other details i then put together in his studio. created out in the open. give it like some kind of. paint black and poor here but it's always the last thing that i put there. once completed the heads are ready to set off.

this one that will go to australia and this one will go to the united states across the globe a total of 70 up cycle trolls are hiding in places like belgium. south korea when i'm traveling out of the world i need to like find materials locally because of course i came flowing in from china i just love to go on the treasure hunt to find those things we're going to make me really having so it's a combination of like having people helping me organize before i arrive but then also just going around and looking what is in the dumpsters despite the sun is spotting a troll isn't as easy as you'd think but thankfully there's now an interactive treasure map to help. this family from copenhagen do something look we have a daughter who is 10 and she really likes. and to get her out and about to see a bit of the nature out here and then a treasure hunt is always great fun on the trail map dot com hunters can access

a digital treasure map using this map they need to 1st find metal plaques which then provide them with coordinates to the next county. and so nice for me to see their people to use it and that is the whole objective of my project is to learn people away from their comfort so finally at the end of the hunt. reward away like captain nalla and his. one of his other troll friends. thomas dam those plan to get people out julius and into the nature of random seems to be working. and staying in nature most people consider weeds a pesky nuisance but for a german chef paid to funk they are the stars of his cuisine now he scours the fields for for wild herbs like a mug war or dandelion and he turns them into all kinds of healthy dishes now

franken knows all about their health benefits and he shared some of this knowledge with us. across germany and europe slight jaros wild camel miles. was seen as a nice inst. they often destroying it and discovered it. to chef and wild kind of acts but. that's a terrible waste enough spicing up his dishes with wild helps. the common term as wild herbs sinful and the more insulting terminal is weeds but that's totally misleading club. this might think we should celebrate plants and all their positive attributes instead and see all the while to them so healthy and some even contain more vitamins and minerals than common vegetables pay to find

a far just perhaps in the open fields and meadows surrounding van been a small town in the region in jim a nice northeast if. the sun i just love the name if you can will believe like this and use it in butter heard as t. shirts or in the bath tub with. the best thing i mean is bitters. pay to frank as restaurant and to bill while ted's featuring many of his dishes today into his colleague down the aisle no walk i'm making pesto from sticking nettles instead of just picking out leaves they use the entire plant. just by the when you're cooking with nettles it's important to take the female sees the best and it's a perfect dietary supplement with a good place to get more nuts or a perfect way to enhance the nutty flavor financial it's to get the right consistency it will be ingredients are mixed with grape seed oil before being

cities like going into you like these potato wheats this year contains a lot of iron calcium and magnesium the iron plays an important role in keeping us healthy so i am i have. the greatest compliment for us as watching people stare at the ground after a tour looking for wild cards they can all use we think we help preserve our native plants by raising awareness for them not to have it and the more they try and the less their yards look like sterile golf courses so there. are a couple of things to consider when gathering herbst like avoiding areas with heavy traffic and only picking plants that you recognize on the crowds a start up makes it worth the essences for a while to dispense with the tour and was impressed by this age old knowledge. i think when you grow up in the city the diversity of the wild herb surrounding you

is something you're not really aware of what i need to cite the element of it quite i call ever since i started using wild herbs my mom is so much more impressed by my . cooking it gives my dishes a little extra something special to. pay to frank i knows all about the many uses of wild have not any disuse them for cooking but he will say preserve them by making jam. and boiled. hopes that guesses his restaurant will pick up on his fascination and love for native hopes to. induce what living in a consumer society where everything is readily available makes us neglect our own well being that's why wild herbs are so important to keep you healthy and should play a bigger role in our society. delicacies . stories. boozy as. the smell amazing

interesting bookstores on the planet. now they've been gathered together here in bookstores photography a horse a freighter they say homage to books his book is the result of 2 years of travelling through 8 countries. every bookstore you enter is ultimately going to have books on shelves. but i wanted to show the shops that distinguish themselves from the rest either through their selection or their concept and concept. in his adopted city of london for a taste has also captured images of speciality bookshops like mike's brothers founded in $853.00 it's one of the world's oldest and to quit tarion booksellers the most valuable item currently in stock 2 pages from a 670 year old manuscript about the travels of explorer marco polo the asking price $200000.00 euros even if max now reaches many customers online for him printed

books are no relic of the past on the contrary. there's nothing light coming from a book. for use it makes everyone look beautiful and clever it is exactly the opposite screen which makes us look probably. this book shop in mayfair also doesn't fear the internet giants. it offers a special service. each month the staff at heywood hill. that recommended treat isn't based on a computer algorithm but rather on the knowledge of her need fundie fellow. altogether they read over $600.00 books a year queen elizabeth the 2nd is among many customers on amazon you might get them where your only reading. might be different authors might be slightly different.

genres but you won't sort of go outside the box that's what we try to do we try to find books that you wouldn't have picked up. the window with hurlingham books is the most colorful one of all and that's a testament to the shops concept the books don't appear to be sorted in any particular way. the store looks like one huge warehouse. yet. whole every book has organized chaos attracts customers like. even when it comes to chain bookstores it feels like very clinical the way things are laid out and it almost dictates to you whereas i think in a bookshop like this where it's kind of a bit more of experience it feels. like you could come out with any. converse some people purposely leave a book behind when they visit the floating bookshop on the water on london's regent

can you imagine a ping pong table for the dining room or a flying carpet as a chair or these are just some of the designs pfiesteria. now his furniture looks surreal and is full of dream like wonder we caught up with the young designer at his studio on cypress to hear more about what inspires him. the cityscape of a modern metropolis dotted with skyscrapers in the table. its designer. calls his functional artwork the wave city table. i went to we restaurant and while i was sitting there i was there during the shape of a rug this interesting shape so i thought oh you know the buildings will be interesting so. i did the rough sketch with buildings and i didn't really model on the computer so when we made the 1st it will look really really good fans

of designer furniture agreed the wave city table has made musette he's famous it even features in the permanent collection of the louvre stereos musette he says it's a real friend a chair has a design language all its own whether it's a comical figure holding a surfboard. chairs inspired by a latin spine carpet. or a mountain wire mesh that props up a ping pong table and doubles as a dining table he's inspired by the natural beauty of his homeland cypress. because if you look at nature he's beautiful in the future look closely or even if you look on their microscope you find all these unique patterns and joe metrical shapes and fascinates me because i think the best art take this nature a glass drop of water that creates a ripple effect. when rockets lifting off carrying glass table tops you can see the mediterranean sea and the clouds above cypress reflected in his work. many of

mousavi says designs rely on 3 d. printing technology which enables him to create the most unusual shapes quickly. the 13 d. printers in his studio help him produce his furniture. this is biodegradable plastic this post is very slowly getting one very very easy in addition to black the way city table also comes in a wood finish. the table shouldn't break someone sits on it to increase its store ability. and a metal worker spent a lot of time fine tuning the design. we're using steel we get plates here are big sheets of metal we cut them in the dimensions of the we want and then we use the motions behind us to bend the steel into their shape of the table it turns out to be not very very easy because even if you did it for size so. processing

and time. we got it right the end then the 80 kilograms plates are clad with wood painstakingly and by hand a carpenter joins the maple veneer sheets together he can't afford to make a mistake otherwise the entire work will be ruined the craftsman must glue the thin wooden layer to the curved metal plate precisely to the exact millimeter so that metal gives you disability and heaviness and they would it gives you they usually small woods. for the black version of metal is coated with powder based paint. that attaches the buildings using a special and he says. it's very very very solid pieces and. so you can see there. the table bends but it's not actually coming off a trained model maker. spent some time in london working with the world famous

architect norman foster after that he returned to cyprus. cyprus is a small island that is very quiet as well here so i like quite places a lot of people are saying you can do anything here is quite is very difficult to do here because of the limitations of the infrastructure and everything of the void island but there are ways there are ways if you really want to to do it you can do it you just have to find those ways and judging by his success it seems mousavi has indeed found the right ways his creations now sell for as much as 35000 euros. and with that we wrap up another shout now and don't forget to follow us on social media and please be sure to check out our website for this week's drop in if you take part you might become the proud owner of a tablet as always for me in the research crew here in berlin thanks for tuning in
