Fred Pellerin : L'arracheuse de temps(2011)

Fred Pellerin: L'arracheuse de temps is a live comedy special recorded at the Théâtre du Vieux-Terrebonne in 2011. The Quebec storyteller weaves a tale rooted in the folklore of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, centered on a mysterious stranger who arrives at Leech Lake and becomes the subject of local legend. Rumor transforms her into a witch—a time snatcher capable of reading futures and, more importantly, the present moment. Pellerin's signature style blends dark humor with intimate character study, drawing from the collective memory of his small hometown. The performance captures his gift for turning rural mythology into something both haunting and deeply human, exploring how communities create stories around the unknowable.
