Solemn Gestures on the Sandy Ground. Tchiloli in São Tomé and Príncipe

Solemn Gestures on the Sandy Ground. Tchiloli in São Tomé and Príncipe São Tomé and Príncipe, an archipelago on the Equator, boasts one of the most curious performances of popular imagination. Tchiloli is the fruit of cultural (and at times violent) encounters and creolisation. It is a delightful ethnodrama/ethnotheatre that unites music, movements and 16th century texts in one ceremony.
