Last Saturday, 9 April 2022, the Circus Price Theatre the City of Madrid@CircoPrice) organized the III Editathon on the Circus World, as a prelude to World Circus Day, which in 2022 is celebrated on 16 April, giving continuity to the project of documentation of circus history in the Spanish Wikipedia, initiated in 2019 and with a second edition in 2021.

In this virtual activity coordinated by Liliana Alviárez (@MissCirquera), new biographies of artists and articles of relevant projects of the subject were created in the free encyclopedia, which are added to a total of 21 new items to date.

LThe day began with the participation of Maria Folguera (disambiguation), writer, playwright and artistic director of the Teatro Circo Price, who told us about the importance of this editathon so that the history and memory of the circus endure in a context in which the information of the sector is dispersed, mostly in other languages and with few specialized documentation centers that are available to everyone.
