Hospital Clowns
"The HCs Palhaços D'Opital (PdO) have a program aiming to bring joy, affection and good mood to adults and elders in hospital environment. They work in pairs, dressed in colorful costumes and they prepared sketches in advance. Their performances recreate day-to-day situations (e.g., clowns trying to install a new TV screen; planning a wedding between the clowns and asking the public for their ideas), ending with specific closure, in order to indicate to the audience that the session had finished and to promote a positive environment after their departure. Each intervention lasted around 15 minutes."
