MORGUIER, IL A LAVÉ PLUS DE 1 000 CADAVRES. IL CASSE LES IDÉES REÇUES SUR LA MORGUE ET LES MORTS

In this exceptional episode, we welcome AKPOM, a morgue attendant for over 22 years. Through his testimony, he sheds light on the little-known world of morgues in Togo, between harsh realities, essential missions, and an intimate relationship with death. His experience reveals what society hides, what is kept silent, but also what we could better understand. Throughout the discussion, AKPOM shares the defining stories of his career: families in distress, final tributes, abandoned bodies, superstition, taboos, and responsibilities that go far beyond washing and preserving. He revisits preconceived notions, those that transform his profession into a mystery, and explains how fear, religion, and culture shape our perception of death. A sincere, sometimes unsettling, but profoundly human conversation. In this unfiltered account, La Nuit explores the boundaries between the living and the dead, between the visible and the internalized. Far from sensationalism, this episode explores our relationship with the end of life, dignity, and those who work behind the scenes to ensure our loved ones leave this world with respect. A deep dive into a profession that is often overlooked but essential.
