Traditional theatre, dance and music genre around Baltazar Dias's drama "Tchiloli où Tragédia do Marquis do Mântua e do Imperador Carloto Magno". The topic stems from a cycle of stories of Charlemagne brought to the island in the 16th century by Portuguese settlers. African features were added over the years. The three-day long performances take place on temporary stages and on the streets of São Tomé.
