SYNOPSIS

(RUNNING TIME: 105 MINUTES | FORMAT: HD FOR THE BIG SCREEN & TV | SOUND MIXES: 5.1 THEATRICAL & STEREO)

Salamander, a society lady on the verge of a nervous breakdown, retreats to a quiet place to debate with herself.

But an all-knowing pseudo-priest, Orfeo, intrudes on her, forcing her into a dredging psychoanalysis and exorcism,

upsetting her craving for a brutally simple solution. Meanwhile, a hitman waits in the rafters to finish her off.

Cornered by her own haunting memories, she slips in and out of ‘reason’, deconstructing and abstracting language at will.

But Orfeo travels the course with her, interpreting her weirdest utterances with annoying precision, experiencing her hallucinations with her, till she

finally cracks. Set in the main hall of a monastery, this surreal piece interfaces reality with the surrealism of lunacy and dreams. Salamander Walks

was shot in only five days, after six months of rehearsals, and shot almost in realtime using multiple cameras. It is a metaphor written by Ghanaian

poet Ishmael Annobil to dissuade people from committing suicide.
