Entertaiment is anything which enchants the mind, captivates the imagination, transports us to another world in euphoric delight. It can be as simple as a quiet meal and a favorite book for two; as complex as a theatrical performance with music, dance, and costume; or as vast as an event with thousands of participants, participants who may span the globe. Entertainment can also have serious purpose, such as a ceremony, religious festival, or political satire. It can also cross media and demonstrate a remarkable capacity for creative remix, ensuring the longevity of many familiar forms.
