A troupe of clowns and musicians brought carnival spirit to young patients at a Rio hospital on Tuesday, turning hospital corridors into a stage for joy.

Dressed in festive colours, the performers danced through the pediatric ward, inviting children, parents, and staff into a moment of celebration. Trumpets, drums, and banjos filled the air with classic carnival tunes, while clowns engaged each child with playful interactions.

The event was part of the "Clown Circle" project, which organises weekly performances to bring laughter and light to those in need.
