Let Them Eat Chaos

Kate Tempest
4.33/5 (1691 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Kae Tempest's powerful narrative poem--set to music on their album of the same title, s hortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize --illuminates the lives of a single city street, creating an electric, humming human symphony.

Let Them Eat Chaos, Kae Tempest’s long poem written for live performance and heard on the album release of the same name, is both a powerful sermon and a moving play for voices. Seven neighbors inhabit the same London street, but are all unknown to each other. The clock freezes in the small hours, and one by one we see directly into their lives that are damaged, disenfranchised, lonely, broken, addicted, and all, apparently, without hope. Then a great storm breaks over London, and brings them out into the night to face each other, giving them one last chance to connect.

Tempest argues that our alienation from one another has bred a terrible indifference to our own fate, but counters this with a plea to challenge the forces of greed which have conspired to divide us, and mend the broken home of our own planet while we still have time. Let Them Eat Chaos is a cri de cœur, a call to action, and a powerful poetic statement.
