Hi! It's called Tableaux Vivant (Living Pictures). Quotes: Tableau vivant (plural: tableaux vivants) is French for "living picture." The term describes a striking group of suitably costumed actors or artist's models, carefully posed and often theatrically lit. Throughout the duration of the display, the people shown do not speak or move. The approach thus marries the art forms of the stage with those of painting Look at: The Pageant of the Masters is an annual festival held by the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, Ca. The event is known for its tableaux vivant or "living pictures" in which classical and contemporary works of art are recreated by real people who are made to look nearly identical to the originals through the clever application of costumes, makeup, headdresses, lighting, props, and backdrops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tableaux_vivant http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&ei=BLOnSaepHoG4twfXi9HYDw&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=PAGEANT+OF+THE+MASTERS+youtube&spell=1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pageant_of_the_Masters
