Project title
Varieté
Description of initiative
In the Variety program the main roles are played by seniors and it is based on their memories and favorite activities. Its purpose is to brush up on their youth times and bring seniors back to the imaginary glow of the spotlight. It allows seniors to return, at least in part, to times when they were not yet bothered by health problems or loneliness. During the several-day program, seniors rehearse performances with the medical clowns. The first two pilot projects in Prague and Brno proved that the Variety was a real boost and that everyone enjoyed it to the fullest. The success of the Varieté was followed by the medical clowns programs.
