If the devil wasn't as ugly as they paint him, like Trindade (Gabriel Sater) from the remake of Pantanal (2022), José Inocêncios (Marcos Palmeira) Cramulho in Renascer is still an “illustrated unknown”. The Prince of Darkness has not yet been officially introduced to the public, as he only sees evil at first glance trapped in a bottle in Globo's nine o'clock soap opera.
Evil showed its face, which was not the best, in the first chapters of the original version. But Bruno Luperi opted for a slightly more understated Satan (discreet, in English), another change from Benedito Ruy Barbosa's original story.
The devil only gets really dirty when Inácia (Edvana Carvalho) lights a candle to save her boss from an ambush by Belarmino (Antonio Calloni). He also had a brief interaction with Mariana (Theresa Fonseca), who almost opened the bottle and freed him from captivity.
The great achievements of the Cramulhão are generally heralded by José Inocêncio, known among the region's inhabitants for riding a black goat that urinates on the cocoa flowers and thus for a unique quality of that produced by the JequitibáRei farm fruits.
Luperi began to further explore the little devil's presence by revealing that the rural producer did not use traditional means to capture him. Legends say that to invoke him, one must bury a cock's egg at a crossroads during Lent.
Marcos Palmeira's character said in Monday's chapter (16) that he had purchased prebottled capetinha practically a highly processed one, to Rita Lobo's horror from a very strange dealer at a popular fair.
Luperi's strategy to hide the devil is extremely successful as the public showed great curiosity when they saw the heptad's face on social media. On the other hand, the expectation must be fulfilled in gender, number and degree so as not to cause frustration among those who have waited so long for the revelation.
Renascer was written and created by author Benedito Ruy Barbosa. The first version was broadcast on Globo in 1993. Bruno Luperi is the writer's grandson and is responsible for the adaptation of the rural saga, which premiered in prime time in January. The remake will air until September.
