Arcola Theatre, Sadlers Wells
UK Premiere

LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES is Andrea Ferran's first staging of the work of composer Philip Glass. Inspired by the seminal films of Jean Cocteau, this thrilling dance opera plots the story of two orphans who inhabit an imaginative world of reckless dares and fearless stunts. Fuelled by Glass' striking score, Andrea Ferran's production was hailed as 'a pure shot of adrenalin' by The Times.
