In the American city of New Orleans, the Carnival season began, as it always does, on January 6. But the coronavirus crisis has put an end to the huge celebrations that bring thousands of people to the city each year. The Mardi Gras season runs until Fat Tuesday, which this year falls on February 16. The season is usually marked by colorful parties and large parades. Costumed riders throw small gifts, like plastic jewelry, to the massive crowds of people that walk along parade paths. The coronavirus has halted those big events. But that has not stopped highly creative people in New Orleans from coming up with socially distant ways to celebrate. The Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc offers one example. It is a club that pays honor every Mardi Gras to the fallen French warrior hero. The group normally parades through the French Quarter neighborhood at the official start of the Carnival season. But this year, the group held a “Tableaux de Jeanne d’Arc” event. The word “tableau” is a French term for “living picture.” A tableau is a costumed group of people who do poses. This year, members of the public drove by the many “living pictures” of the Jeanne d’Arc. These tableaux included stations where members dressed as warriors, sharpened their weapons, and ate at a fireplace with a pig roasting nearby.
