With this new edition marathon, the Price and Wikiesfera continue to bet on the Documentation project of the history of the circus on the Spanish Wikipedia that started in 2019 and continued throughout 2021 and 2022, with a production of new articles exceeding thirty.

The day began with a conversational coffee moderated by Maria Folguera (disambiguation), writer, playwright and artistic director of the Teatro Circo Price, in which the TWIST Circus Artists They shared with the attendees how they lived the creation process and how they built their numbers from the historical references of the time in which the show is inspired.
