Description
Les Enfants Terribles
A world premiere theatrical adaptation of Jean Cocteau’s scandalous novella.
Paul and Elisabeth, two emotionally-sheltered teenage siblings, seclude themselves in a fiction of their own creation. A fantasy organized by rules and rituals only spiritual orphans understand. As they vie for dominance, the “enfants” play cruel games amongst themselves and upon their adoring companions, Gerard and Agatha. Reality creeps in, fantasies spin out and the borders of their worlds collapse. Is tragedy inevitable? And divine?
