A static scene. That is, the actors do not move around or speak. They are blocked (positioned) in ways meant to communicate the relationships between the characters at that moment. The entire scene need not necessarily be a tableau; scenes can open or close with one, often held as the curtain rises or falls. Although usually scripted, a tableau might appear due to a director's decision. The original French word "tableau" is usually used to mean "painting", which the trope is partially about. Not to be confused with what you put playing cards on in most solitaire games. See also Time Stands Still, Art Imitates Art, and the latter's subtrope "Last Supper" Steal. |

The anime version of Thermae Romae uses this throughout the entire show. The vast majority of the characters have one 3/4 shot that is used repeatedly (with small changes, like eyes open, etc.) but often have animation that's used once and very rarely. When somebody walks across the screen the figure jumps across. | |

Le pupille: The orphans at the Catholic school put on a Nativity scene, in which they strike static poses as angels, shepherds, Wise Men, and the baby Jesus, everybody except Mary and Joseph who are played by nuns. This is expected by the parishioners, who come by at midnight to make special prayers, and it is also a big deal for the school, as Sister Fioralba is counting on the money and food they're supposed to get to stretch their inadequate supplies. | |

Parodied in The Fantasticks. At the end of Act I, the song "Happy Ending" features young lovers Matt and Luisa and their fathers (who manipulated them into falling in love by appearing to forbid their romance) in a celebratory pose after foiling a fake kidnapping. After the song ends, El Gallo, who orchestrated the "kidnapping" at the fathers' request, wonders aloud to the audience how long they can hold their positions. Act II opens with the quartet still in the same tableau, but, as predicted, they struggle to maintain it and eventually give up, foreshadowing the impending collapse of the previous act's "happy ending". | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion used tableaus almost to excess, in part because it saved money and effort not to have the characters move around. They seem to pop up a lot in Hideaki Anno's work. | |

A unique use of this trope in early silent film A Corner in Wheat (1909), to establish mood. Twice—once when the poor people are lining up for bread, and once when the financier's body is discovered—the actors remain motionless while the camera rows. The poor people in the breadline are presented frozen at the beginning, while the actors in the latter scene freeze upon discovering the body. The first scene is presented in contrast with the rich people having a fancy dinner. | |

The Iron Mask (1929) opens with Douglas Fairbanks (D'Artagnan) and The Three Musketeers posed in a tableau. Then Fairbanks steps down, whips his sword around, and delivers a little speech inviting the audience to join him on an adventure. Except for one similar scene halfway through, the rest of the film is silent. | |
