Fred Pellerin

The adventures of Babine, the son of a witch and a village pariah, as he ventures forth into the world and narrowly evades death.

Focused on an inspiring and touching dialogue between Gilles Vigneault and Fred Pellerin, the documentary tells the story of Quebec by digging deep into an ancestral tradition etched into our cultural DNA: the production of maple syrup.

Fred Pellerin and Kent Nagano revive the great tradition of the OSM and offer a new symphonic Christmas tale! They take you to Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, where the first post office in history was run by Madame Alice Lavergne. For a long time the only reliable channel through which we could send and receive, this trunk service constituted the privileged link to maintain between us everywhere. Letters, cards, invoices, packages, forms, catalogs: everything went there.

A tribute to the Quebec population who are fighting against the COVID-19 epidemic. Several artists are participating in this outpouring of solidarity to recognize the essential work of our guardian angels and to encourage people to give back.

In the census of the legendary Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, the barber is at the top of the list... The barber, Méo. He who held up shop on the main street for many years and who marked history with his curling iron. In the village, Méo watched over the general capillarity for a long time. To mess up your hair just right, it knew how to take head on all the proponents of the straight and monotonous parting. Genius bordered on madness. Or the opposite. I guess it doesn't matter. It held together. Show recorded at the Théâtre du Vieux-Terrebonne on February 15, 2015.

In the memories of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, there was this stranger who came to settle at Leech Lake. A silent woman who rumors quickly elevated to the rank of witch. A time snatcher, who read futures. And the presents, above all. Show recorded at the Théâtre du Vieux-Terrebonne in 2011.

The musical tales of Fred Pellerin with the OSM and Maestro Kent Nagano are pure moments of magic. This revolves around Léo Bellemare “hairdresser” in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, who maintains beards, mustaches and hair. Through his privileged and regular access to the villagers' capillarity, he is aware of all their secrets. What use will he make of it, he who wants to be the savior of the world?

The poet and storyteller Fred Pellerin invites us to enter the fantastic and playful world of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton. There we discover a man named Ésimésac Gélinas, the strongest man in the world!

During the prosperous years of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, Toussaint Brodeur ran his general store and profited from everything. So, the day he stood before Eternity, he realized he hadn't put any time into his safe. Toussaint was rich, but couldn't even afford to buy back a single second of his life. It was too late.

The Montreal Symphonic Orchestra (MSO) and Kent Nagano share the stage with Fred Pellerin, a colorful character whose imagination seduces as much as it surprises. He tells Christmas in his own way, through his stories featuring the protagonists of the small village of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton. An unprecedented encounter of the symphonic world and the universe of this artist of words. Concert recorded on December 16 and 17, 2011 at the Maison symphonique de Montréal.
