We are given an overview of costumed historical stage productions and an attempt to analysethem concisely. The general models for such cultural practices are also briefly given. By theirnames and the way they originated the cultural practices that are portrayed show evidence ofbeing partially complementary to and partially a substitution for earlier practices connected tothe presentation of folklore. Such new forms of celebration satisfy the needs of the community fordisplaying a different cultural belonging than that of the time of dominantly folklore costuming,at the same time reaching for meanings from the past as projective argumentation for currentvalues.
