Presenter Toby Amies hooks up with puppeteer Christian
Bahrmann, explores his ‘hood and helps put on a puppet
show for Berlin kids. Christian introduces Toby to Natural Born Golfer
Thorsten Schilling, who’s taken the distinctly
unsexy game of golf and reinvented as an extreme urban sport. Thorsten
and Toby play the ultimate game of golf through Berlin’s urban
landscape.
While practising his swing, Toby meets surreal performance
artist Maren Strack, a one-woman compendium of
avant garde Berlin art. Maren initiates Toby into black art of whipcracking,
and reveals how she tests the limits of dance by dangling from trees
and dancing with hydraulic legs.
Through Maren, Toby meets architect and photographer
Benjamin Koehrich, who takes Toby for a bike ride
along the route of the former Berlin Wall. He also introduces Toby to the
characters living in the no-man’s land left behind.
Toby gets a crash course in chess-boxing – a
sport that’s the ultimate challenge for the body and the mind
– from chess-boxing world champ Iepe the Joker. Toby gets a taste
of the high life when Maren invites him to an elite garden party
hosted by suave art patron Jorg Starke. After a
spin on his pleasure boat, Jorg proves he’s a true populist
by taking Toby cockroach racing with Russian painter Nikolai
Makarov in Nikolai’s local Russian bar.
