Is attack the best form of defense? It is the final match of the field hockey season. The championship title is on the line. The winner takes all. As the lines between the game and social commentary start blurring, and the team finds a collective voice of anger and frustration at the plight of women in this country, the team needs to make a vital choice: attack or defend. Shifting between physical and visual performance, searing storytelling, and surrealist dream sequences, Whistleblowers is an honest and tragicomic call to action. A war cry for the soul.
Whistleblowers was nominated for a Naledi award in 2022, and won a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival 202
