And furniture that is full of a random nation 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 up on 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. To make a scene india so high and become a sin and yet we just want to bring. In the real space. Nobody ever play music before. Going to and from keeping your balance at such heights is already quite a feat but performing a choreographed routine while making music on top of that now thats 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 im like oh it will never be a bird i knew my amp to balance and once i have stuff playing i just can do it and when they play music on the line they are good that nuns are thank. The members of the we do is have been performing together since 2016. Highlight of their careers 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 its. Were always searching for the most interesting places to perform so here to be performing in a church its our 1st time and to be performing in a garden like this and in a religious context. Its really special for us to change the pre conceived ideas about locations like this. Which. Of the artists from our say came to sometimes 2 weeks before their show to develop the concept onsite. Dont like just kind of. Show we do so it means we are also from what we discover here so we read and we speak with 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 martin and accessible to everyone who will want playing a Musical Instrument up there on a slant line without losing your balance thats 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 theyre now dreaming of stringing their high lines between the chips and pyramids. Were all afraid of running into that scary monster in the forest 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 hes 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 in denmark. But what is going on and how did they cant hear. I think like anybody else my age tech were up on fairy tales and folklore stories so i think thats also why i like to tell them oh and i for me trolls they dont need to be like evil they can also be good and in my fairy tale 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 youve been evolved and its 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 using 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 its the from the local fisherman they use them to tie their fishing thats 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 the weapons that they got a whole bunch of in the workshop. Aside from nails and glue thomas only uses discarded wood he collects ontario and eats it 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 peoples perspective from being something worthless to something with value 1st thomas makes sketches of his ideas. The heads and other details then put together in his studio. Created out in the. Give it life some kind of. Paint black and poor here but its always the last thing that. 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. Hiding in places like belgium. South korea when im traveling out in the world i need to like find the materials locally because of course the came flowing in from copenhagen from china i just love to go on the Treasure Hunt to find those things were going to make me really having so its 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 size spotting a troll isnt as easy as you think but thankfully theres now an interactive treasure map to help hunters on my quest this family from copenhagen. We have a 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. 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. Its so nice for me to see the people who 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 hum. Reward away Like Campaign now and his. One of his other troll friends. Promised them that his plan to get people out and into the nature of around them seems to be working.

The table shouldnt break if someone sits on it to increase its store ability to studies and a metal worker spent a lot of time fine tuning the design. Were 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 that very easy because you need to get it precise so. Processing and trying. We got it right and then the 80 kilograms plates are clad with wood painstakingly and by hand a carpenter joins the maple veneer sheets together he cant 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 it a disability and heaviness and they would it gives you the illusion of its all wood.
