MOFFIE

With David Viviers

Making its world premiere in London in 2024 to rave reviews, including a 5-star rating from The Guardian, and following a sold-out South African premiere at the Baxter in 2025, Moffie returns to Woordfees with its battle cry: "These men trying to mould us into something we're not… They must not be able to touch us…" A visceral exploration of identity, masculinity, repression and the lasting scars of institutionalised violence in the brutal world of 1980s SADF military conscription.??
