During my tour of France with Annie Fratellini's Nouveau Cirque de Paris. We often could drive approximately 100 kilometers to see Cirque Pinder. We got to know M. Jean Richard very well. Nice guy.

Cirque Pinder declared bankruptcy in 2018 and ceased touring. Owner Frederic Edelstein mounted Christmas shows in late 2018 in Paris to fulfill existing contracts but said the future of the show was in doubt. His white lion act has appeared with other circuses as he attempts to build income to maintain control of the cats, but said that the cost of touring a show the size of Pinder was prohibitive. The loss of French government subsidies because of political concern about performing animals was a factor in the decision.

2nd bankruptcy as Gilbert

Edelstein bought it out of

the 1st bankruptcy in 1983

from Jean Richard
