Let Them Eat Chaos

Venue: Kammer - It's 4:18 in the morning. A street somewhere in London. Seven people lie awake, driven by worries, memories, loneliness or loss. They all live on the same street, but their paths have never crossed. Until now. Because there is a storm on the horizon...

Let Them Eat Chaos is a long poem and also the second studio album by British poet and spoken word artist Kae Tempest. In a dense, lyrical composition, Tempest combines poetry, social analysis and musical energy to create a powerful wake-up call. With radical honesty and great empathy, Tempest tells of alienation, social inequality and the emotional exhaustion of our late-modern society and at the same time opens up a space for hope: for encounter, change and a different way of working together.

Director Sebastian Nübling brings Tempest's work to the stage as a performative exploration. In the chamber, seven figures — perhaps even themselves — meet for the first time. The result is a poetically charged evening at the theatre about the chaos of our time and about what could possibly connect us in it.
