“An ode to life”: Charles Biétry testifies in “seven to eight” despite Charcot's disease
It is a portrait like no other by “seven to eight” this Sunday, January 26, from 7:30 pm. Journalist Audrey Crespo-Mara left for Brittany, meeting Charles Biétry, on the occasion of the release of her memoirs, entitled “The Last Wave”, at Flammarion, on January 29. At 81, the former journalist and Director of Sports of Canal + suffers from Charcot's disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, SLA). A pathology that prevents him today from speaking.
“The words are in my head and I cannot bring them out, so we curl up and we risk having no more contact with the outside,” explains the one who communicates only thanks to a computer, and whose the Voice has been recreated thanks to artificial intelligence for the show.
