re-enacting

Staging past events

Re-enacting is performing or staging something that happened before—recreating an event, scene, or action.

People re-enact historical battles as a hobby, investigators re-enact crimes to understand how they occurred, and children re-enact scenes from movies.

They spent the weekend re-enacting the Battle of Gettysburg.
