Fred Pellerin - Au nom du père

For three days and three nights of vigil over the body, the entire village had to debate on which side he would be laid to rest: in consecrated ground or on the other side.

You never really know who you’re dealing with… Everyone has their own story, their own truth. Just when we thought we knew everything about the life of this rosary-clutching man, the widow’s story told during the funeral vigils comes as a shock. Hanging on her every word, we uncover the priest’s unsuspected truths and secrets. And, above all, we watch the legendary court of public opinion of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton deliver its crooked judgment.

With Au nom du père, Fred Pellerin returns to the stage with a brand new show, faithful to his art of storytelling, where humor and poetry intertwine around a deeply human story.
