TCHILOLI PERFORMANCE| CULTURAL

 MINI TCHILOLI PERFORMANCE (1h:30)

Tchiloli (or txiloli) is a form of theatre, music and dance, originating in Portugal in the 16th century, and still persistent on the island of São Tomé, in São Tomé and Príncipe. As the Auto da Floripes, characteristic of Príncipe Island, is inspired by one of the episodes of the Charlemagne cycle, more precisely the Tragedy of the Marquis of Mantua and the Emperor Carloto Magno, a play from the mid-16th century by the Madeiran playwright Baltazar Dias, spent in the court of Emperor Charlemagne. Performed in ancient and modern Portuguese by local companies, made up only of men, with an assumed anachronism, it presents slaves and mestizos, masked and costumed in the European style. At the same time, syncretic, subversive and mystical, and at the crossroads of several traditions, this peculiar work lends itself to different levels of reading.
