The message reads, in part:
“You have devoted yourself to the art of circus, the promotion of its wonderful traditions, and you have been faithful to your vocation for many years now. Founder of the unique Cat Theatre, an artist, a cat handler, and a director – it is a challenge to list all facets of your generous and original talent.
It is gratifying to know that for more than 30 years now, you and your tightly-knit team have been giving kind and colourful emotions to the public, above all, children.”
