uses it in her expressive works. and we will raise alongside one of europe's faxes buna cyclists as she breaks records. but we start off the show with folk songs which are making an unusual comeback now have you ever heard of sea shanties these folk ballads were sung by sailors that during their work at sea now you're probably familiar with this one. from oh what shall we do with the drunken sailor well one young scotsman decided to revive these centuries old tunes during walk down in the coronavirus pandemic what began as a way to pass time for nathan evans has turned into a runaway success and has even landed him a record deal. but

see there. was a simple rhythm and a centuries old melody has changed nathan evans live forever. one. man is a sea shanty evans' rendition of this maritime work song has earned the scotsman a spot at the top of europe's pop charts. i mean it's like a dream come true. i'm just we hope. that's because until recently made in evans was a postman in the town of airdrie glasgow in his free time he'd uploaded videos of himself performing pop all folk songs to tick talk at his followers request he started covering sea shanties like we've heard johnny. in

the moment. pining. for the. late last year evans landed a surprise hit when his version of the new zealand wailing song soon made the wellman come went viral i thought. of a good. move on to the next song. that i expect. to hear. a song that would bend the charts and all of. its incredible. this song made a big splash and soon the internet was flooded with people singing well a man during the corona pandemic the sea shanty clearly touched a nerve as it tells of the money in the set see. it when it was obvious. especially. everyone is stuck. everybody and they just.

came along and everybody. along you can stomp your feet and. you can play an instrument to the. show. yeah it's just i think it everybody involved. have been putting a smile on people's faces since the 15th century. would be out at sea for months and. chosen to lead the singing in response songs they would sing the man and the rest of the crew saying that response. in the digital age the internet community has taken the place of abode using tick tocks function virtual sailors' courses have sprung up all across the globe. even prominent musicians like us violinist lindsey stirling and british guitarist brian may have gotten swept up in the shanty craze.

i was speechless when i. seen all these people. just think. it's. me. that. with a recording contract in his pocket nathan evans quit delivering mail to concentrate on his musical career he's currently working on his 1st album and eventually hopes to go into. one of his ground. i would i would do the opposite and take that as an experience and take it with me

and i don't all job i still wish i didn't i'd still be playing it also makes no difference to me it still may find evidence has cost of his safety net and his seizing his chance he's now one step closer to his dream of being able to live from his music one minute the man is done. and sticking with a maritime theme this next piece is all about the surreal fashion created by the artist van nerika. this headband is just one example of her conceptual art but others involve actual fish and as you'll see soon she incorporates them into her masks and costumes to express or even hide her inner feelings now we met up with the artist in moscow to find out more. and raw fish be a fashion accessory. that's how russian armenian artist veneer of

her sorrow of a stage is from model at a photo shoot in moscow. the fashion designers unusual combinations have garnered her international acclaim. i have no humans with the materials and. i can combine paper with. ways of creation because. i want to write the diary but for me it's making a mask. to her masks are works of art and a means of self-expression. the new yorker's sorrow that has been working on her mask series since 2009 she's already made around 100 fanciful face coverings ever since she finished her degree in fashion design and moscow masks have played an important role in her creations by mask i cover my. real face and it

gives me a while protection maybe and a feeling of safety and kind of her future for me because i want to show my real emotions. on the face mark mark phrase but i show my emotions through the textures the technique and the materials. with the new yorker saw over designs costumes and props for theatre productions like this one in the russian city of perm in 2020. 3 years before she worked on the fish project at moscow's gorky park. and in 2018 she contributed to the moscow staging of book land. time and again the designer mixes materials that don't seem to go together. her current series fish and flowers is no exception because sorrow is inspired by fairy tales and surrealism fish are

recurring symbols and her work ones that are meant to cause people to stop and reflect. this dress with a rope and i always thought beautiful because it combined with flowers and. white paper it's actually a very beautiful but and it's kind of ok but not. to live underwater. and. it's kind of. manifest. while and you will because sorrow is on her way to nikolai gogol house a museum in the russian capital she was invited to take part in a group exhibition here entitled the islands each participant was given a room and free reign to show off their creativity. with new york a star of his installation features paper flowers printed with images of meat here

too she makes a connection between pretty plants and dead animals. paper is one of her favorite materials to work with. to trust me in paper. so there's nothing more for a wide sheet of paper. paper also plays an important role in her latest photo shoot. i'm never satisfied. and that makes me. again i'm always looking for perfection of. the new york sorrow those stages are real dream worlds unmask her passion for the absurd.

who doesn't like a nice creamy bar of chocolate well the swiss are masters when it comes to making it so what better place to head than switzerland for a lesson in our food series food secrets we explore what goes into european specialties that everyone knows and enjoys so for a glimpse into the secrets behind milk chocolate we met up with experts in the kitchen and in the field. whenever i go on vacation i always bring chocolate along always. without cocoa there's no chocolate no way around it.

there are the intimidation only swiss chocolate is a kind of milk chocolate and we produce a dark 1000000 chocolate which contains 56 percent cocoa now. it's been the last time laura shockley. a co-founder of the floor chocolate factory people and we produce chocolate by hand there. the how thing in the end the main ingredients for chocolate include 1st of all sugar soca them then we add cocoa butter which is the fat crust from the cocoa bean from the board that done some next is the milk powder so if we're making a milk chocolate it's just us me through her. team cocoa beans are the most important ingredient for making good swiss chocolate. the regional

came from south america came to central america and eventually to africa. my name is christian velez i'm originally from colombia where i run a cocoa plantations i chose cocoa because i've always wanted to do something that connects my 2 countries of origin switzerland and colombia. grows up to 5 meters tall grow on the trunk and branches like normal food. take the cut it open and you find the beans inside the fruit. you place these fruits in wooden boxes and cover them with banana leaves but on this introduces you stand bacteria which initiate fermentation then 48 hours later you turn them over this process takes $5.00 to $6.00 days and you have to keep turning the fruit to different intervals and depending on when you turn them you can bring out certain flavors. to get.

to as the 1st thing we do is. to remove. when you went to the skins off and you end up with. pieces of the beans and this is where a recipe starts. to mix. out on these baking sheet and then we roast them in the other and each recipe requires a different kind of roast and. the. fish are made fresh milk. chocolate don't go together well so we can't work with fresh we always have to use . me. as i did here i have the roasted neds. and this is a stone i mean. sure you do such prime minister of the how this one has to granite

stones and they in the kettle turn it to think that it which causes friction to push and now appear in the cocoa knaves nice and slow see 9. but this time for the sugar. free comes along i'm mad for that and gradually as well it's time to be when it's created a paste i can add in the melted cocoa butter cow both of these fish modes. they're made on for the grinder works as a conscious at the same time you see them. just to show conch in means stirring the cocoa paste to mix air and to its roots in that which reduces the acidity me to look at what gives our chocolate this very fine sweet taste anything balanced by men used. to move at the shaking table gets out all the air bubbles still trapped in the

chocolate we don't want to be bubbles in the chocolate bars. we've. got and i think we can make a lot of people happy with our chocolate and that's why this is my dream job. yummy and if you would like to see more reports about mouthwatering specialties from all over europe and make sure to check out our you tube channel d.w. food. like you see these. stories. to see as and. the smell amazing the best chefs with their fast chips from meat dishes to eating diets and all the recipe

secrets while some of. europe's diversity is a smorgasbord to live. subscribe and enjoy deep down to you for. biking through town or on trails is tricky enough on 2 wheels especially when you pick up speed so you can imagine how hard it might be when and navigating on only one wheel now the producers of the show went to a lot of trouble to bring in a unicycle into the studio and this is where i could probably demonstrate for you but instead of breaking my neck i will leave it up to a young german woman who is breaking records on her unicycle. on his duty cycle. can can make up to 40 kilometers an hour.

the combination of speed balance and the high risk is what fascinates me the most. just day riding high in the saddle. can keep so concentration. on the road any little good presents an obstacle. chocolate's one and. i do have a handlebar but it's mostly so i can lean into the wind and not for support bicycles you can hold on to the handlebars the unicycle doesn't have anything to stabilize you so you have to find your center and learn to build speed and confidence without using your hands. and it takes years of practice to learn to ride with this kind of speed and skill even as a little girl. felt magically drawn to the unicycle and began taking part in competitions but her talent and balancing hasn't always been well appreciated on the contrary. as

a kid i got in trouble for tipping my chair up on one leg and nursery school and rocking back and forth while. so they told my parents they suspected i had a movement disorder. but my father was sure that wasn't true and he got me into sports that was the best decision he could have made and i'm very grateful to him for it. now what aged 20 she's collected medals and prizes the world at the 2018 world unicycling championships in south korea she chose 5 world champion titles in various disciplines. finally in 2020 the world record for the longest distance covered in one. over 33 kilometers on her unicycle she even beat the men's record. in fear in many of the physically demanding sports that's just unthinkable that was

another huge step forward and that's really special to me. yana 10 and dad was born in the french border region from books now she lives in berlin and hopes to study lol she set up a little workshop in her room in the apartment she shares she owns 15 unicycles for various purposes one even has studded tires for off roading. as often as she can she takes off to go riding cross-country another discipline that yana 10 a bag and hold the world champion title fool. and the only one she's never injured herself doing. has been martin back from him in a mountain biker hit my unicycle from behind in a mud hole and my leg got caught in between his crying and my shin bone. i finished the race and won but afterwards i had to go to the medic perry was pretty swollen up but that's the worst that's happened to me outdoors so far. in comparison the

ride home through both means rush hour traffic is like a walk in the park a unicycle in town may be an unusual sight but it's quite legal and it helps keep you on a turn on bag and in shape for the challenges yet to come back to my one hour world record leave some room for improvement i'd say there's also a 24 hour world record in a cycle writing i'd like to go for that one too you can sit on the cycle for a long time you just need to practice. on a 10 on bag and decide she's practiced enough for one day and treats a sofa to a gentle stroll into the sunset. in this digital age we would expect that most anna mae. are done on the computer but some artist prefer methods that stand the test of time such as stop motion animation this technique of filming characters in movement has been around for a couple of decades and it is

a popular way of entertaining the masses well i caught up with one stop motion director in paris who showed me more. this is american actor leonardo dicaprio in a way you've never seen him before in stop motion animation action. this is the work of french director victor who makes animation films and adds in his paris studio. i really like stop motion animation because it's something very times you go again you can touch it you really feel what you are doing i mean with your hands. and also i cannot draw and i cannot use. we do wanted to make stop motion and i think this is the best way to make it a mission. victor's been creating stop motion animation for 13 years he taught himself how to do it after stunning film in the czech capital prague mission any

mission is a very long process you put the puppets in the position you make this movement you take a picture you make it as a movement you take a picture and so try to redo. original movie you have in. this 5 2nd clip took 2 hours to make. his animations cover a wide range of schemes including this film featuring a 3 d. superhero. the other clips are simple loops made for fun for instagram. this animation highlights actor tom cruise's stunts from his movie mission impossible. and pictures bear often makes

other popular appearances on social media. but it isn't just for fun the artist or . and his money with animated ads for big international companies. 3 years ago i decided to. put on my work on instagram and to publish. mated loops every weeks. it meets a lot of success it was very unexpected but now i have more than 300000 followers. and i get a lot of commission directly via instagram. picture trying to find a sense of humor in his everyday surroundings this is where he gathers ideas the challenge lies in bringing ideas back to the studio and turning them into mini works of art the finished product is it always what he expects when it's done i'm

very happy to look at it from my frame because while i was in the meeting i was focused on what i was doing so sometimes i didn't notice i did so move also as a move and after this time i keep surprising myself. and victor continues to surprise his fans as well with his unique and unusual classic form of animated photography. and with that we come to the end of the show but don't forget to log on to our website for this week's draw as always from me and the rest of the crew here in berlin thanks for tuning in and we'll see.
