Portuguese term or phrase: Comédia Galante
'Faltou-nos uma linguagem que tinha a ver com a comédia galante, com o clown, com a ideia da fisicalidade que esta escola tem.'

I'm not sure if this is of Portuguese or Spanish origin as I also came across Comedia Galante in Spanish.
I'm also not sure if there's an English translation for it or if I should leave it as it is.
There aren't many hits on google, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

chivalrous comedy


Explanation:
Não encontrei muitas ocorrências, mas as que encontrei parecem-me corresponder.

Em alternativa, "heroic comedy", mas alarga mais o género...

A home-based chivalrous comedy presented by a ghost writer.

Don Pedro tests this resource in different dramatic genres such as mythological comedy, chivalrous comedy and auto sacramental.

Of course, my style of writing is immortal Chivalrous comedy, this will not be lost, and will continue to improve.

Example sentence(s):
  • In Albert Serra's version of Cervantes' chivalrous comedy, the elderly knight and his companion Sancho pass the time bathing, bickering and bumming
  • "Don Quixote": funny and warm chivalrous comedy. Matsuzaka Taoli talks about male-to-male love?
