WE HAVE NO NEED OF OTHER WORLDS (WE NEED MIRRORS)

Created, Written, & Performed by Graham Sack Presented at Under the Radar Festival 2026 Co-Produced by Onassis ONX DragonO Hardware, Software, and Visual Concept by LedPulse Technologies and LedPulse Collective Mind

We Have No Need of Other Worlds (We Need Mirrors) is a live theater performance and immersive installation that combines volumetric holograms and spatialized audio to explore the relationship between family, memory, and technology.

Story: A son keeps vigil at his father’s bedside, reading aloud from the old man’s journals—cosmic reflections inspired by voyages across oceans and through jungles. The words feel eerily prescient, as though they were written with foreknowledge of this very moment. Perhaps the lesion in his father’s brain isn’t a disease at all, but a wormhole: a tunnel through space and time connecting different selves, different worlds.

Experience: We Have No Need of Other Worlds (We Need Mirrors) transforms that vigil into a live theater and immersive media experience. Part elegy, part biometric séance, the work uses interactive technology, video, and sound to link performers and audience members to a digital phantasm—a distortion in the fabric of the universe—asking whether memory itself might be a signal traveling through time, seeking someone to receive it.
