Portal Waiting
In Portal Waiting, Abhi Tambe delivers a solo immersive performance blending theatre, sound art, and live music. Set in a future world, it follows two characters: a transhuman cyborg from the moon, embodying humanity's pursuit of technology and freedom, and the last man on Earth, a lonely old man seeking company in an abandoned city. A storyteller-musician weaves the tale of a man who left Earth for the moon years ago. Abhi plays all roles using a microphone, electric guitar, and sound controller pad. The performance is experienced through headphones, creating a unique auditory intimacy that blends connection and isolation, reflecting the complexities of the 21st century.

Abhi Tambe works at the intersection of music, theatre and sound art. With a background in rock music, he expanded his repertoire in the 2010s to include music composition and sound design for theatre and films. This experience opened up his interest in longer format storytelling and led eventually to the creation of Portal Waiting during the lockdowns of 2020; a time when the global pandemic forced us all to stop and take a second look at the disparity around ourselves and to reconsider our own roles in the economic machine that drives it.
