This radical dance-opera conjures up the strange tale of siblings Paul and Lise who live together in an isolated room. As they grow up, they become so immersed in each other and the dark fantasies of their imaginations they lose all sense of reality.  
Composed in 1996 as the last in a trilogy of works that Glass based on the writings of Jean Cocteau, Les Enfants Terribles was directed and choreographed by Javier De Frutos.
