In the night-time stations of inner-city Berlin, a gang of teenagers 'surf' trains. Theirs is an uncompromising world, where language is tough and the stakes are dangerously high. . .
But when the gang tries to cover up the violent death of their eldest member on the tracks, a bizarre fantasy emerges. . . set in Venezuela.
This rebellious, darkly comic story by German-language writer Guy Helminger recently won the prestigious Baden-Wü rttemburg award for youth drama.
Venezuela opened on 4th March 2003 at the Arcola Theatre, Hackney, as part of the Arcola's German Season, supported by the Goethe Institut Inter Nationes
