Short performances in which "actors" were dressed in extremely elaborate and ornate costumes and posed in famous scenes with exuberant lighting and scenery. The curtain would stay up just enough for the audience to try and take everything in, the dropped back down after a very short period of time. I believe these were popular in the late 1800s.
