TEKS | SCRIPT Willem Esterhuyse MET | WITH Willem Esterhuyse REGISSEUR | DIRECTOR Ntombi Makhutshi

’n Persoon wat groter van lyf is, vertel die verhaal van hul jare as kind, tiener en jong volwassene. Dié herinneringe word gekenmerk deur humor en pyn. Tussen familie wat mal is oor braai, skoolvriende en ’n aanlyn liefde, spook daar ook die seer oomblikke wanneer iemand hulle ’n ‘vark’ noem. Die spieël in die badkamer word ’n vyand, en die reis van ongemak groei tot angs en uiteindelik die donker drang om hulself skade aan te doen.


A larger bodied person tells the story of their years as a child, teenager and young adult. These memories are marked by humour and pain. Between a family that loves to braai, school friends and an online romance, there are also the hurtful moments as when someone calls them a ‘pig’. The bathroom mirror becomes an enemy and the journey from discomfort grows into anxiety and ultimately the dark urge to harm themself.
