reprising
Returning to role
Reprising is performing or presenting something again, especially a role or musical piece one has done before: She's reprising her award-winning role in the sequel.
The word carries a sense of return—an actor reprises a character, a band reprises a hit song for an encore.
It suggests deliberate repetition rather than mere recurrence.
