Previous Episode: This Amarkaner Life: Mad About Amager
“Opening Champagne with a sword is more fun. You can feel it in your stomach.”
So says Marianne Sass Petersen — a bookkeeper from Amager whose life changed when she attended a Champagne sabering competition at Tivoli.
Dedicating herself to the art of opening Champagne bottles with swords, she went on to win the Danish championship — and launch a successful business teaching sabering.
In the final episode of the season, we visit Marianne's house in Amager to find out why she loves sabering, what it entails, and how it could change your life, too.
For good measure, there's a pair of improbable references to hip-hop, as well (neither of them to Liquid Swords, alas).
