The Fortune-Teller is Victor Séjour's retelling of Edgardo Mortara's removal from his home by the Bologna inquisitor. In Séjour's rendering, an infant girl Noémi is taken from her Jewish family after being baptized by a wet nurse. Seventeen years later, the baby's widowed and wealthy mother masquerades as a poor fortune-teller in search of her daughter. The Jew of Seville tells the story of Jacob Eliacin, a Jew, during the Spanish Inquisition. Eliacin masquerades as a Christian and becomes a prominent member of the court at Seville, but his background is revealed following his daughter's seduction at the hands of Don Juan. These provocative historical dramas highlight the discrimination not only of Séjour's time, but of ours as well.
