Fred Pellerin’s musical universe comes to television
Fred Pellerin is known across Quebec for his storytelling, stage performances and songs rooted in the characters and imagined world of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton.
On En direct de l’univers, the guest does not choose a conventional interview format.
Instead, performers interpret songs connected to the guest’s life, memories and artistic influences, often creating unexpected moments with friends, collaborators and family members.
The format gives the program room to move between humour, live music and personal recollections.
For Pellerin, that approach is expected to draw on the musical references behind a career that has combined storytelling with chanson, theatre and televised specials.
Ahead of a new Fred Pellerin show
The television appearance comes shortly before Pellerin begins performances of his eighth storytelling show, Au nom du père.
The production is scheduled to begin its run at the Centre des arts de Shawinigan on Nov. 21.
That timing gives the En direct de l’univers episode added interest for viewers who want to hear from Pellerin before the next stage of his touring work.
Details about the songs and surprise performers for Saturday’s episode have not been publicly disclosed.
