RESUMO
Working with different forms of artistic and cultural expressions has been considered a form of health intervention to enhance the understanding and thinking about the needs in this field. A group of clown doctors conducted home visits for eight months to ten families located in micro areas of two family health teams. The practice aimed at expanding the solvability of the care given to people and to communities through the intense proximity established by the art of clownery. The idea consisted of making interventions in the homes of socially vulnerable families indicated by the family health teams using joy, humor, and laughter to stimulate reflections on the daily problems. The presence of "clown doctors" in the houses built strong and free bonds with the families and enhanced the humanized and comprehensive care within the context of family health strategy. Clowns and families found a special way to find possible solutions to the difficulties faced on a daily basis. Male and female clowns were able to manage new subjective constructions for each family to deal with everyday situations.

Resumo O trabalho com diferentes formas de expressão artístico-culturais tem sido considerado forma de intervenção na saúde que enriquece as possibilidades de compreensão e reflexão sobre necessidades dessa área. Um grupo de palhaços caracterizados de médicos realizou visitas domiciliares por oito meses em dez famílias em micro áreas de duas equipes de saúde da família. A prática visou ampliar a resolubilidade do cuidado a pessoas e a coletividade com intensa proximidade estabelecida pela arte da palhaçaria. A ideia foi fazer intervenções nos domicílios de famílias em situação de vulnerabilidade social indicadas pelas equipes de saúde da família e utilizar a alegria, o humor, o riso como formas de provocar reflexões sobre problemas cotidianos. A presença dos “médicos-palhaços” nas casas foi capaz de construir vínculos fortes e livres com as famílias e de potencializar o cuidado humanizado e integral no contexto da estratégia de saúde da família. Juntos, palhaços e famílias construíram, de modo singular, possíveis soluções para dificuldades enfrentadas no dia a dia. Os palhaços e palhaças foram capazes de agenciar novas construções subjetivas para cada família lidar com situações cotidianas.
