Question:

Differences in between tableaus and pantomimes?

What are their difference? They seem to be the same kinda thing to me?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

To me, a tableau is where the people involved try to make the exact same scene as what's found in a famous piece of art, usually a painting. So the people are holding still, and the important thing is how similar it looks to the original.

Pantomime is a form of artistic expression where the performer helps you to know the situation by using only movements, facial gestures, and so forth, not words.
