Fanti Acrobats was founded by Eward Kobina Yankah (Eddie Yank) in Accra- Ghana. It is a group that promotes Ghanaian and African culture through acrobatic performances around the globe. Every member of the company started performing from childhood. Over the years, we have taken our quest away from the streets and created a relaxing and fun adventure atmosphere for our audience. Fanti Acrobats have toured intensively within Ghana, Europe and Asia.The group has won many awards within Ghana and abroad.
'Fanti Acrobats, the pride of Ghana's acrobatics and culture.'

A Letter From Adam a contemporary story about love, loss and hope will draw audiences into a realistic cycle of life seen through the pain of loss, the journey of self-discovery and the courage and strength to find hope in the face of adversity.
Set in the busy yet simple city of Accra, A Letter From Adam seeks to give the audience an often neglected truth about love — that love doesn't always come in the form one often expects it to.
