On May 15, a datathon will take place to present the digital platform of the Circus Archive, as part of the Fira Trapezi

The team behind the Circus Archive has organized a series of meetings and working sessions over the coming months with the aim of presenting the digital platform and encouraging the direct participation of circus professionals.

The first of these meetings will take place on Friday, May 15, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Cal Massó, as part of the Fira Trapezi. Attendees are asked to bring any materials they have preserved from the 30-year history of the festival.

The Living Circus Archive is an initiative within the Circus Promotion Plan of Catalonia (2023–2026), promoted by the Associació de Professionals del Circ de Catalunya (APCC) and led by La Central del Circ.
The project aims to create an open and participatory digital archive that preserves, documents, and disseminates the heritage of circus arts in Catalonia, connecting artists, companies, researchers, and institutions in the construction of a shared collective memory of the sector.

The Circus Archive can only exist through the participation of the circus community. For this reason, these meetings seek to foster the sector’s direct involvement, provide tools for self-representation, and strengthen connections between artists, institutions, and researchers.
