This Thursday July 21, 2022 was a terrible day for Frédéric Deban. Present at the Ambigu Theater on the occasion of the Avignon Festival to present his show “Journal of a hard of hearing and his misunderstandings”, a single-on-stage adapted from his book “Vos gueules les acouphènes, je n’entendre plus the sea”, published in 2016 by Guy Trédaniel, the 57-year-old actor was the victim of homophobic insults. Comments reported by the spectators present for the event. According to information from Ciné Télé Revue, the manager of the room would have launched to the interpreter of Grégory in the series “Under the sun”: ” Go fuck your man… you jerk “. The latter would also have physically threatened the 50-year-old.
Fortunately, no incident of the kind would have disturbed the show which would have taken place in the best conditions. However, as reported by our colleagues from Ciné Télé Revue, Frédéric Deban and his co-author, Dominique Lozac’h did not sit idly by in the face of such aggression. They would have already lodged a complaint with the prosecutor of Aix-en-Provence.
An autobiographical show
In his show, the actor tackles a sensitive subject. Either, the way he suddenly became deaf at the age of 50 after a fight. A handicap that has become a real struggle for the actor. In June 2021, Frédéric Deban confided in his deafness at the microphone of Europe 1. “You have to know that suicide is not in my DNA, on the other hand, I think that I held on because I knew that there were not 36 possibilities. I wanted to accept what was happening to me, I told myself that it was not a coincidence and that there was certainly something to do with it. I became aware very quickly of the suffering that there was around that and I held on because I am a strong man, what else could I do? »
