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 a storm is brewing on the horizon...

Let Them Eat Chaos is a long poem and 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, while at the same time opening up a space for hope: for encounter, change, and a different kind of togetherness.

Director Sebastian Nübling brings Tempest's work to the stage as a performative exploration. The result is a poetically charged theater evening about the chaos of our time and what might connect us in it.
