It will be the first time that Buba, a trans woman, has seen her parents since her gender transition. The character’s arc is new compared to the original soap opera, from 1993. According to The globethe reunion scenes will be recorded in the interior of Minas Gerais.
The scenes promise emotion, with a request for forgiveness. In previous episodes, Buba confided in José Venâncio (Rodrigo Simas) that she was expelled from home at the age of 16 because she was not accepted by her family.
There is another twist to happen in Buba’s life – this one already known in the original version. After Venâncio’s painful death, she approaches her brother-in-law, Augusto, who has been supporting her in her time of mourning. The two will end up living a romance that should last until the end of the series. The character will still fulfill her dream of becoming a mother by adopting Teca’s (Lívia Silva) baby.
Who is the actress who plays Buba in Renascer (2024)?
In Bruno Luperi’s version, Buba is played by Gabriela Medeiros. Like her character, the actress is a trans woman.
Gabriela is 22 years old and, in addition to being an actress, is a poet and designer. Born in São Paulo, she already had contact with psychology – in the soap opera, Buba is a psychologist – and even took the entrance exam for the area. She took her first steps in theater at the age of 14 and worked in the financial market, but decided to follow the path of art.
Who was Buba in the original Renascer, from 1993?
In the 1993 version, the character was played by the actress Maria Luisa Mendonça.
What happens to Buba in the original Renascer?
In the original serial by Benedito Ruy Barbosa, Buba was presented as a “hermaphrodite”, a term that has fallen into disuse to designate intersex people – those who are born with sexual characteristics that do not follow the binary definitions between male and female.
In the 1993 plot, Buba undergoes surgery to stop being intersex, at the suggestion of Augusto (Marco Ricca). She also tells the truth to José Inocêncio (Antonio Fagundes). Upon learning that Teca’s (Palomma Duarte) son was not Venâncio’s, the protagonist is disappointed, but Buba takes over the child and continues living on the farm until the patriarch’s death.
Who does Buba stay with in Renascer?
In the original soap opera, Buba ends up marrying José Augusto, in Ilhéus. As the current version progresses, everything indicates that the characters should also end up together in Bruno Luperi’s plot.
