As MARWAN

Sergio Silva began his journey as a musician in a Latin Rock band before shifting to sound engineering. His love for acting was ignited in his teenage years after reading Mario Benedetti's Pedro y el Capitán, which inspired him to produce and star in the play at the age of 42, performing in St Kilda. In 2008, he took on the role of tour manager for One Night in Buenos Aires and acted in the short film Nena, which was featured at ACMI.

In 2022, he became involved in the award-winning play A Property of the Clan, and in 2023, he was cast by Peter Farrelly in the feature film Tango "Balls Up," alongside Mark Wahlberg. He also had a supporting role in the web series There is No Antimemetics.

As AVIV

My passion for theatre comes from a love of expression and connection. My journey began with a stage production where I played a secondary role in a play called Zinzlakht back in Lebanon and it received great feedback from the audience and community. The experience deepened my love for performing and inspired me to keep exploring the world of acting as a way to convey meaningful messages.
