Silent, immobile arrangements of one or more costumed performers, usually staged with appropriate scenery and props, to reproduce a scene from art, drama, literature, history, or the imagination. Enacted in ceremonial, theatrical, festive, or recreational contexts, in public or private, they may be presented on floats, on theatrical stages, such as at the end of an act of a play, or in any suitable private or public space. For the contemporary sculptural works composed of figures and objects arranged into a picturelike scene, use "tableaux (sculpture)."
