title: [Circuses and clowns. Experimental contribution to nursing methodology].
abstract: The description of a very original experience of health education in a region of Amazonia, Brasil (based on the utilization of techniques of population theater) is the occasion for a reflection on the possibilities and on the opportunity of adopting also for the nursing practice of western countries methodologically innovative approaches, which could allow a caring attention oriented not only to the problem of assistance, but more basically to the cultural components of the needs and expectations of defined populations.
