"Love and Terror in the Wind", is a theatrical production depicting the impact of oil exploitation on small villages and communities in 1920's Venezuela. The social impact of Oil is seen through the eyes of a child in pursuit of a suitable profession in troubled times. 100% of suggested donation for funding a Water Well in Africa via Pump Aid

Beginnings of the oil discovery in Venezuela. Entire towns are reshaped around the new reality and the promised wealth of the oil exploitation. Wrecked derricks and lost dreams blowing in the wind. Delusion and a few sad songs were the only legacies of oil exploitation in many places.
A few years later, a Venezuelan boy from an early age conceived a love and developed a terror for the word and what the word could do. This fascination developed into a pursuit in all professions—from the niceties of the philosopher to the spells of wizard and of witch in the grand shamanic tradition of Latin America.
