On Connection is a meditation on the power of creative connection. Drawing on twenty years’ experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest explores how and why creativity - however we choose to practise it - can cultivate greater self-awareness and help us establish a deeper relationship to ourselves and the world.
Honest, tender and written with piercing clarity, On Connection is a call to arms that speaks to a universal yet intimate truth.
