Entertaining troupe 'Luzia' brings joy to the hospital beds of young patients at Children's National Hospital.

On a Friday afternoon, performers from Cirque du Soleil's enchanting show, "Luzia", visited Children's National Hospital. The atrium of the hospital was transformed into a vibrant stage, as the acrobats and jugglers presented dancing, tricks, and showcased beautiful costumes for the children.

The specific show performed was "Luzia", a mesmerising spectacle that has been entertaining audiences in Tysons until October 18. The performers took a special trip to the hospital, aiming to bring a much-needed break from the medical routines of the hospitalised children.

Yohanna Abebe, a 5-year-old patient, was one of the children who participated in the event. She expressed her joy about the performance, mimicking some of the performers' moves. Yohanna's energy was infectious, and she even managed to elicit a smile from Mikael Bruyere, an acrobat from the show, who expressed his happiness about being able to bring smiles to the children.

Yohanna was interviewed by 7News Anchor Victoria Sanchez, who reported on the event. Yohanna's spirit was a testament to the power of entertainment to uplift and inspire, even in challenging circumstances.

Mikael Bruyere highlighted the importance of the event, stating that it was a way to make the children's day better. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to bring a bit of magic to the children's lives.

Unfortunately, the name of the acrobat who participated in the Cirque du Soleil visit to the children's clinic is not available in the provided search results. However, the joy and excitement that the performers brought to the children were evident in the smiles and laughter that filled the atrium of Children's National Hospital.

The event provided an opportunity for hospitalised children to enjoy a break from their medical routines and to be transported to a world of wonder and imagination. It was a truly heartwarming sight, reminding us all of the power of art and entertainment to bring people together and to bring joy to those who need it most.
