What does charade mean?
A dramatic performance in which the actors convey the plot and characters through gestures, facial expressions, and movement, without speaking. A guessing game in which one person acts out a word or phrase without speaking, and others try to guess what it is.
Example
"The actors performed a charade of the famous Shakespearean play, using only pantomime to convey the story."
