[21] It's early February and they're speaking from their apartment in Catford, a gritty district of South London, which has been their lifelong stomping ground. Hoewel creativiteit en hun leven als muzikante en woordenaar de rode draad lijken te vormen, gaat het essay over de kunst van het leven. Met vallen. Hard vallen. En weer opstaan.The surgery went ahead, with three full weeks of total vocal rest to follow. “I was reduced to the corporeal. After a lifetime of trying to escape my body, trying to be more than my body, trying to excuse my body, needing to talk my way out of my body because it was the wrong body and it didn’t look like other people’s bodies, I was my body entirely,” Tempest writes. They take a minute. Sharing stories from their past, Tempest explains, isn’t easy. “Until hitting puberty, I lived as a boy,” they say. “People around me would say: ‘You’re a tomboy, you’ll grow out of it.’ I internalised that, and hoped I would.” That never happened. “Puberty was disorientating. It brought a lot of pain to me.” Beaumont-Thomas, Ben (6 August 2020). "Kate Tempest announces they are non-binary, changes name to Kae". The Guardian. They have a command of language and rhythm that makes you listen; makes you care about what they have to say. In October 2014, their first poetry collection for Picador, Hold Your Own, was published.

Dividido en las partes que se suceden durante el montaje de un espectáculo escénico, Tempest hace vibrar al lector igual que hace vibrar al público encima del escenario. Conexión es una reivindicación de la creatividad como práctica necesaria a nuestra cotidianidad, su presencia alrrededor, mucho más allá de aquellas actividades capitalizables. Un llamamiento al oyente, al lector, al público como conductores necesarios para la transmisión de la potencia de una obra. Pero también una oda a nosotros, individuos sociales y en sociedad, como potenciales emisores dentro de nuestro entorno más próximo; y por tanto, el poder que poseemos para transformalo en un espacio más empático, más seguro, más placentero. All that fear was about shame,” Tempest says. “I was afraid, because of internalised homophobia and transphobia. I was afraid to be who I was, because I’d learned that it was ugly. I was resigned to being wrong all my life. Coming out and saying I’m trans, non-binary, is me saying I’m on a journey.” They’re still not certain where it’ll take them. “But I realised the ramifications of what might happen didn’t seem as scary as living with this boiling hot secret in my heart for eternity.” I am aware my brain is intense. It’s like this weird mate always hanging out with me It's really hard for me to try and imagine where my life outside of creativity begins and ends." Loading...
