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)." ]]></note></mads>
