Soufiane Moussouli

While pursuing his degree in Social Work at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Soufiane stumbled upon a passion that would redefine his career path: the magnetic world of theatre and acting. This inspiration led to the creation of his first solo performance, 'Moroccans Don't Cry'. Far from being a one-hit-wonder, this success led to the productions of 'Gelukszoeker (Fortune Seeker) and the highly acclaimed show 'Volgens mij ben ik een Jood' (Think I'm a Jew). His unique vision caught the attention of Theater De Gasten (Theatre group De Gasten), paving the way to Het Zuidelijk Toneel, where he shone in the performance 'ACHTTIEN' (EIGHTEEN).

Soufiane played the role of Habib in the Gouden Kalf Award-winning drama series 'Mocro Maffia'. He also appeared in the movie 'Gods Lam' (God's Lam) and the series 'A'dam en E.V.A.'..

Currently, Soufiane is involved in a new Netflix film set to premiere next year. This gripping thriller, centered around a hostage situation in the heart of Amsterdam's Apple Store (known as the Apple Store gijzeling), features him in the lead role alongside Emmanuel Ohene Boafo, Marcel Hensema, Loes Haverkort, Louis Talpe and others.

A cast of committed actors with side roles as social workers or volunteers seeks answers to questions such as: 'How to do good?' and 'Where do we draw the line?'. The further the investigation goes, the more difficult the boundaries appear to be.

    What if you are a Muslim and the other is a Jew? Or you are Dutch, and the other is Moroccan, Syrian, Afghan? One straight hetero and the other gay? One white, the other black? What if people don't know each other but think they know who the other is? What if you don't know yourself? "I Think I'm a Jew" explores these questions with a story as colorful as it is a surprisingly touching love tale that takes us to places like taxis in Tangier, the Ajax celebration in Amsterdam, and the checkpoint at the Wailing Wall. Soufiane narrates everything with zest and humor, delivering it effortlessly; through this, it becomes clear that this is his personal story. Ultimately, it strikes a chord when we realize: every life matters, every soul matters.
