julie home, a smoking, city, stay poole landscaping in 45 minutes, d w a be a open fire and

a burning passion for cooking meat the shampoo combined both later on initio. and with that hello and welcome to your max. i'm your host hannah, him up here. it's what else we've got in store for you on this big show. place is a green bless in busy urban sprawl. why germans just can't get enough of actually back up and a trip to this spanish and talk, which once a year travels back in time, if there were any opera is an acquired taste for some people. but even if you're not normally a fan, this opera is so unique that you have to give it a chance. the famous italian opera, madame butterfly, is being stage in the austrian tine of brigands. unlike constance. and the stage itself resembles a gigantic piece of paper. it was designed by canadian set designer michael levine and seems to balance weightless lee on the water,

but quite the challenge for the performers. we spoke to one of the singers to see how she's handling hitting high notes at high height o, a gigantic sheet of paper on late constance. the ensemble of madame butterfly performs puccini's tragic opera about a japanese geisha on a steep incline. ah, for this performance at the pagans festival, the seniors need to be sure footed and have a head for heights, including i touched she, curly soda. so this and or to know now it's mike you. i need to sing now. ah, sorry, that was done on the front of your did this i saw of your call now my degroach, i left the rama my she had happens a few that has so many uneven surfaces and b. mm hm. all i might sometimes you're not just singing but also moving and running, saw the vegan. and oh yeah,

yeah. oh um plesk you can't be short of breath. you need to be entirely focused on playing an authentic japanese woman as esther yup. on the shelf rouse, i skew. oh ah, but it. oh sure. oh oh, who roam? is madame butterflies, made suzuki to med so soprano from azerbaijan. warehouses with knee pads is unusual at n. and i don't just run. i have a neil to a while. sometimes that's hard because the surfaces isn't smooth and it can hurt my . there are so many things to do so many different tasks, resorting, man, you can lose that theatrical feeling and bent these as a tat, radishes gifford. ah, director andreas. hm. okay. cost $3.00 singers for each role. you take turns during

the strenuous performances. now this is here, this is the highest exit here in the stage inner on and this is the lowest there. good. it even goes under the water level when it comes in as it is, was keep the water out when it hurt us a buffer up. yet a bruno hot tub. so every stage has its own rules, one must and you have to figure out where and how to place the performance sphere here. that's wrong. of course, this one's another thing entirely. a lot for the home the, the challenge here is directing the performers so that in every moment, the positions have an almost sculptural quality. the pasta scope corolla the door to her volume on stage. when butterfly dies, the paper bursts into flames. projection mapping creates magical and varied effects on the unconventional stage, which consists of a $117.00 prefabricated pieces that were assembled on

a scaffold. in late constance, the surface was painted after traditional japanese drawings on a carelessly discarded sheet of paper. with this set design of michael levine wanted to express the disregard. the american naval officer pinkerton has 4 butterfly and her culture whom he marries, impregnates, and abandons. but levine also had to make sure the stage was functional. the folds of the cloth, his actually acting like her a safety railing. this is a step we found areas like this where you would have to go to steep the steeply down. so we added in these invisible steps. and then if you look over there, you can see there are steps in the back of that fold. and her that is not seen by the audience in the production is meticulous, but the stage design exudes restraint. it's less pompous than its predecessors.

since 1946 up to 7000 spectators in an evening, have watched off her performances on the world's largest late stage, famous for its spectacular productions. throughout the years, the stages have had one thing in common. they interact with this surroundings. or these a lunch shaft, was the landscape here, changes every single hour. you saw how stormy it can get in and sometimes when you're running on stage i can get a bit slippery. one thing my heart comes i. this is tish, are designed to. the natures are the sheet of paper because of the music of pacina, like all of that together creates a beautiful feeling and new feelings, ominous. i know because all the parts play a role. i know, and i think that's why it's beautiful. i live, i live tyler speed, and i'm the roller. when they say any stand catharsis, a wound issue. oh, powerful emotions on a one of a kind stage. madame butterfly and pagans,

truly is a feast for the senses. all germans like to raced on the autobahn drink beer are never late and can't take a joke. right. either cliches, true in our series, meet the germans dw reports or rachel stuart tacos. such questions. today's episode, features the king of german catch, the garden gnome, my german grandparents have several of these dotted across their garden. and it's only fitting that the spotlight is on this little guy for rachel's investigation. of the germans love for their allotment gardens. i welcome to your piece of paradigm, your life of com and the city, your leafy kingdom, welcome to the order of germany on the outskirts of town. for the long railway

lines, you'll find garden colonies, lots of land divvied up and rented out to green fingered hobby. gardeners sheba, gotten climbed, gotten gotcha. there were several names for the allotment in germany. it's not the gardens are not the 370 square meters of molecule known neat flowerbeds. anderson decoration is welcomed, including of course, the king of german catch, the garden, known in the 19th century, 50 populations, boone, and green spaces. dwindled. any versions of allotment for families, some outdoor space, and the opportunity to grow their own food. this self sufficiency proved vital during the 2 world wars and communists. east germany, leaders originally viewed these individual garden ways with suspicion, but they soon softened to the concept once they realize the hobby gardeners could help make up the shortfall and fresh fruit and veggies. today it's less about necessity and more about lifestyle. come on, where else can you enjoy your free time? that's more hateful and central with no phone or laptop flight such. so putting the can kinda kid and play and or we can move a little gardening properly for teaching,

but i got no right, let's come. what can you do here for a while? so it's really relaxing and we can grow project bone that are about a 1000000 allotment. gardens in germany, the capital berlin, both the most. but if you fancy is nothing went up. you'll have to join the q behind the 12000 other nature lovers on the local waiting list. and in many cities, the need for more housing is putting a lot my gardens and the threat. of course in germany, gardening rights come with gardening responsibilities. ladies and gentlemen, the rule book. okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the federal lauren allotment is impressively detailed. and on top of that, each client got an association, has its own set of rules, for example, detailing how big the block and what kinds of lance are allowed, minimum distance between the shed in the sense and which i was at the day you're allowed to know your lot the terms gamma gotten mentally did literally a lot mentality is used to describe the attitude of someone who cares meticulously

for their own metaphorical garden. and it's quick to pass judgment on some one over the fence. oh, in fact, it seems the allotment, gardeners have got a bit of a reputation the day exaggerated, tried to get out of the solitary, conservative line, patty bourgeois, vaguely regimented at a german flag and well trimmed hedge specie should pieces to pieces. okay, this is coming up a lot. this is kind of a mixed up between square, very particular and narrow minded. basically, you don't want to be spaces. the 4th is proud of everything. he grows up. cutting the grass with nail scissors. rules are king and everyone must follow it or north and by the stereotypes. things are changing. many associations a loosening the rules to attract younger members, and the somewhat cooler sounding urban gardening trend has come along to boost gardening, st grid, oven gardening, conversion. gardening comes in many forms, from some people, plant things around a tree in bar or plants on balconies, our own gardening, to work warmth, and there are community gardens, lunch or several people care for

a larger garden. the one bringing the neighbourhood together with a joint commitment to maintain the garden fishing. gotten on mister hut, the smaller plant beds and shared responsibility fit better into a modern work schedule, and it costs a lot less to take pump. this more relaxed approach to gardening is proving popular with all sorts of non typical a lot more gardeners and it's up in terry and jimmy's tradition of the green. and you can head over to our website to tell us which cliche you think of as typically german or very deutsche as a thank you. you'll be answered in a raffle to win a sweat shirt. and a cotton bag from the dw uncensored collection, which stands for world wide freedom of expression. now were headed to spain for a trip back in time between barcelona, unrelated cl lives, tor tata, a castle on time, but had its heyday during their nissans every year. this city throws

a festival to look back at that golden age of art and culture. ah, once a year, this town and spain travels back in time, ah, from close to food. to music for 4 days to tosser in catalonia takes itself back to the renaissance. during this period from the late 15th to the 17th century, europe's art culture and economy radically changed, including inter tulsa, that i had on william tortoise. i was importing because of its architecture. many buildings were built here in the 16th century, and there still stand empty. delcom, it was also important for trade as the town lies on a river. so goods could be easily transported. okay, and for the economy as well, but like, oh yeah, this is the 1st time on a louis is one of 2 tosses. flag bears. she'll make her grand appearance with the

about us later in the day. she's one of around $3000.00 local residents who organize and stage the festival every year. lucky if that's mccarthy, that the festival is very popular here and ta ta. so okay, we all look forward to it in july. if that's pitch as a to re living the old times of tortoise out of it. i. and we look forward to reuniting with friend nancy on the bed, barbosa you, but i don't need a 2nd us amigos with around 60 performance is a day. visitors can immerse themselves and life as it was in the renaissance, a one, the ruin zuber ruts. and honda domingo will be performing dressed as to 17th century aristocrats and mark deniable gathered about her back then. barto torso was cats alone, is 5th largest town here. one of i'm here, i feel proud to be representing a noble family from the era that of the dance and the music will be performing

today. so came from historical documents my, lemme see if barbara, the woman does her story girl. even if it is their 10th year performing, both took care, preparing. they've been rehearsing the noble dance for months. everyone involved devotes a great deal of time. and all the costumes were hand made me mad at me. and i said that my mother made distress over the darker color tones were a typical of spanish renaissance fashion. last minute, especially black or shades of tan, a saddle horse with it's time for anna louise's big moment as one of to tosses about the lattice. spain's only remaining flag throwers are a great attraction. dennis, now it's mainly about entertainment. the performers have practiced daily for months, but continuously waving and throwing around a one kilogram heavy flag isn't easy. is it about gay?

it's hard when the sun shines in our eyes and we can't see how the flags are fly. with them, it's a matter of balancing endurance and practice. the knowledge, basically anything you do takes practice life is and we practiced a lot, you know, it gets exhausting and it takes a lot of strength at all. but in the end, if you like, what you're doing, you'll do whatever it takes to do your best low muslim. possibly. after the appearances the performers gather, the taverns, recipes dating from the renaissance, have been resurrected and made with ingredients used at the time. following age old traditions on elisa's favorite as a kind of sausage still popular in the region today level than i to nearly meant that the by that as the dash typical of the renaissance, him ta ta scandal. he says it's made with blood and portal. he gotten it. if he had a look back, then pupil 8, mostly grain, cork, apples, pears and whatever. they could grow in the field stem. yes. such as being us on

a cabbage, eat, and lettuce. although i can get it body about it'll gamble comalla school, the ash lascola se latoya. so tosses 25th renaissance festival continues well into the night until next year to tulsa. once again, travel back in time to celebrate. it's rich cultural heritage i it summer. which means it's barbecue time, bright gourmet chef to be a spec, would actually agree, but he takes the humble barbecue to a whole new level. he likes his fires and unusual places often in the middle of the city. and the resulting dishes are not really delicious, but incredibly innovative. we visited him at an industrial weight land in berlin to

get a few tips for our next barbecue party. aah! gourmet dish is cooked over. an open fire for dinner is an unexpected places. that's to the aspect concept for his gastronomic experience in berlin. as far as that is true for a chef, i is the ultimate cooking method, either even if only because of the aroma line being alma from unmarked, wendy loiter for you. you realize that having fire means lots of different things. motley, also fundamental things li, such as light heat, food, warm for that. so when we look into fire, it automatically evokes feelings. very deep within us, auto mothers, computer to be aspect stokes. his fire with oak and beechwood, he prefers them by their slow burn time and high heat, as well as the fine grilled flavor they lent the dishes

the smithy guzman, him. what's important is that you don't just pour out the sack of the coal. you have to stack and lay the wood so it gets plenty of oxygen. it's like here with this tower. when you see that the fire blazes up right away, door is patience is key. this isn't a stove. you can switch on and off and it's something romantic that takes time there, woman. but i think every one hour barbecuing has that good enough that kathy, either to be aspect learned has fire skills and argentina from the start shaft. francis smile man, master of outdoor cuisine. he learned go, may quality cooking from starch shaft. renee reads epi and copenhagen, and at berlin's and st. restaurant. he combines both and his concept. ember opened fire cooking and you know to us and see. and emma, when people he grill, they think extremely charged or crispy and heavily seasoned stock, but you can work with it very elegantly, like a lightly smoked cream or

a grilled lemon for a salad dressing worn and impressive. one was allowed. he's finished on the fire for 30 seconds at most. his tip to make it crispy is to spread butter on it beforehand. the grill spinach is then combined with roasted pistachio. gonna finish. pleasure for me is putting your heart into cookie. you know, we, that's what we do here. we use simple produce and charco to bring things to lighting as a means of acting to be us back. uses a japanese conroe grill that's good at storing heat, but cooking over a woodfield fire is only one aspect of his dinner concept. he receives his guests at ever changing locations. this time, it's an old archive building and berlin's eastern mouth, sand district. yet about up on the times i've always dreamt of organizing dinners and hidden spots on her project. they always have something

mysterious and novel about them all, some decent. they bring you out of your comfort zone, noise, and call us on a come forth. so novels an 8 course meal is in store for the 40 guests, including lamb sweet bread, with green onions, roasted tender and crispy over the what fire and french fraser. clams, briefly singed on a grill to vienna. beckdolt himself serve with panola blossoms. marinated muster. leaves an awful blank for a spanish sauce made with almonds, garlic, and olive oil. it's no surprise that to be a speck in his team for 1st he is not produce. in spring, the menu includes asparagus, served with a bisk of pureed crayfish and fresh sorel. they want to lighten. we want to give people incredible evening why they wouldn't normally experience that can't be

repeated and cannot and that's exactly what to be us back to cheat. good food in unexpected places. ok, so i think it's time for me to up my barbecue skills. now. does it get any better than the summary smell of lap and or imagined walking through the entire fields of these beautiful deep purple flowers? well, we're headed to the provence, to meet up with the photographers who flock there every summer for the chance to capture the feast for the nose and for the eyes. one thing for sure, the perfect postcard picture is guaranteed. 11th fields in the south of france. it's pretty is a picture everywhere you look between june and august, when the plants are in bloom, the villains or plato turns into a frequency of flowers. a cheer people from around the world,

visit some kid coming back like landscape photographer fabio. and to nora. this is was cool about profile going out of here. we have this incredible colors in the sense that everywhere in your book we have the lines that go way back into the distance and everything that i love. that's what is at the end of there's a tree. it's like disneyland for photographers, and for photographing fabia likes to share his passion with others and takes amateur photographers on guided to us through the lavender fields. this was photographer, has pioneered a technique that revolutionized classical landscape photography is super, imposes typically chance of the same subject on top of one another to create hypo realist images. as a result, his landscape photos look more mystical than realistic or hyper eliza landscape. photography is about bringing together all the emotions i felt before while taking the shots in one picture. as you know, the different moly situations and ambient light stable now could take 234,

or up to 40 or 50 images. to convey that feeling to the observer, again, it's this feeling that he also wants to transmit to the photo to a participants. the 1st lines are these here. the best ones are actually those 2 there. and in the middle, when it comes to framing their image, the image is get help from van of oscar, has been the landscape photographer for more than 2 decades, and knows whether it's classical or hyper realistic photography. the ground rules are always the same. what's important, what is such wide open landscapes as the foreground? often you'll see pictures with a tree somewhere in the background, but nothing up front for it's a broad field. so slime adds the nice depth da da landscape. and we have a nice foreground with the blooming lavender that's half the battle won, while taking a good landscape photo gunshot total. the 1st successful shots are long coming, much to the delight of the 2 participants. these are get hardly in

a straight line is less for materials. it's just amazing. the new toys is, as i find, the st. louis harper's stunningly beautiful, bankrupt, and as the acoustics the hum of the bees and the blossoms which move around. and i went into it, not, it's just wonderful, and i will not ruin rose's ill veto doors was always a challenge. it is for a comp in terms of composition. read every picture tells a great story or that's clear most of the argument. but the popularity of the lavender field has one big drawback. many farmers fear for their crops is in here, we're on private property. heard everything here belongs to a farmer who earns us living, growing lavender. we have been so i'm here with a group that have to ensure that we break tens with lavender ethics. miss didn't got meals line, ramming it with tripods are stepping on the plans that i are leaving beer bottlers or cigarettes or gorgeous light around and was home. i think of it like being in someone's living english. been in by should leave the place in your same state. i

found a dental office based on guitar from up the photo to it lasts for a week and the group is on the go day and night. because in the dark, a whole new side of the lavender fields comes to light, far below loves these to diversity. in shooting at night can be tricky. the sold the for shouldn't be too much light pollution though sometimes like that's also really cool. it's ok the just have the black, my, the sky and the milky way is that sometimes it's also nice when there's a bit of a glowing from the city down below. while i started with a classical or modern in the lavender fields, every one is sure to find the picture perfect image. absolutely gorgeous. and with that we have come to the end of another program. we hope you enjoyed the show and don't forget to follow us on social media for more content from all over europe. for me and the whole year mike's team here in berlin
