reenact
Stage past events
To reenact is to act out or perform something that happened before—a historical event, a crime, a memorable moment.
History enthusiasts reenact Civil War battles.
Police reenact crimes to understand how they occurred.
Legislatures reenact laws, passing them again after expiration or repeal.
We reenacted our first date for the anniversary.
