On the West African island of São Tomé, a unique performance called “Tchiloli” flips colonial legacy on its head. A play from the 1800s, once imposed by Portuguese colonizers as a tool of cultural indoctrination, is now a proud expression of Black São Toméan identity, resistance, and self-discovery.
