Algeria, early 1900’s. As a proud and perpetual nomad, Isabelle sought adventure and the quietude of her own soul. With a stalwart will, she dared to cross the borders of countries, cultures, religion, gender and politics—and only an act of God would stop her. An epic and theatrical work-in-progress based on the writing and biography of Isabelle Eberhardt.

FEVER is dedicated to Isabella Maya Kass Levy, my inspiration before and after this life.
“I wanted to possess this country, and this country has possessed me… No one can completely reject these idols; in fevered evenings they will come back, monstrous, to all those who lay their heads on this soil to sleep, and who turn their eyes towards the cold stars.”
- Isabelle Eberhardt, Notes from Kenadsa
