Palmares is a 17th-century quilombo, a settlement of escaped slaves in northeast Brazil. In 1650, plantation slaves revolt and head for the mountains where they find others led by the aged seer, Acotirene. She anoints one who becomes Ganga Zumba, a legendary king.

In the backwoods, the slave colony or Quilombo called Palmares is something between myth and promise. Rather than focus on the practical struggles and a realist approach, Diegues takes a theatrical, even operatic approach.
