Project Description

The Production

The Acrobat is a professional thief with dozens of burglaries to his credit, but when he finds himself trapped in the enormous abode of a mysterious man, as seductive as he is lethal, he realizes that the police might not be the worst of evils. Vincent de Saint-Bonnet is incredibly rich, with many hidden secrets, and little will to live. A foul-mouthed little thief with magnificent blue eyes is just what he needs to bring some light back to his gray, long-drawn-out existence.

A thief looking for a valuable dagger, an antique dealer with hundreds of years under his belt, for whom the weapon represents an object of . . . inestimable value. Each man has a precise goal and nothing will stop him from reaching it. Not even the incredible attraction that grips them, pulling them into a duel, one fought with lies and seduction.

Why are we creating this Crowdfunding Campaign?

THE ACROBAT is a unique project of its kind in that it is an international project with actors and crew hailing from all over the world. In fact, actors hail from Switzerland, New York, UK, Hungary and Malta. Crew hail from Malta and Italy. This of course entails great expenses and we belive that ALL artists should get paid for their work.
