Expand Bio Collapse Bio

Mararo Wangai is a Kenyan-born writer, performer and media graduate, with a passionate interest in diverse forms of storytelling. His work strives to avoid simplistic narratives, assess society critically and tries to remain adaptive, organic and alive through its development, until the eventual encounter with an audience. He is attracted to stories that deal with the struggles of humanity, and creating work that not only tests his craft both in writing and performance but work that pushes him and his audience away from comfort zones, expectations and the mundane, into the unforgiving unknown where we might both learn deeper lessons for the next chapter. Mararo is currently working on the development of a new work with Belvoir Theatre Sydney and Arts House Melbourne, the development of a TV Series with Screen West and Screen Australia as well as a debut music album with Mahamudo Selimane to be released in 2024.
