Performance Live: Kate Tempest

The first episode of Performance Live will broadcast in October 2016, as part of BBC Two’s dedication to arts on Saturday Nights.

In this episode, produced in partnership with Arts Council England and Battersea Arts Centre, Kate Tempest picks up the mic to fuse hip-hop, poetry and theatre as she shares stories from her second album, Let Them Eat Chaos, filmed for BBC Two from the one-of-a-kind Rivoli Ballroom in her neighborhood of Brockley, south-east London. Let Them Eat Chaos is set in the early hours of one morning and traces the lives and stories of seven people, living on a south-east London street, who all find themselves awake at 4.18am.

Following Kate Tempest performance, a trio of spoken-word artists curated by Kate Tempest will share bite-sized performances on themes of contemporary Britain.
