At this moment when rethinking our social identity seems urgent, The Devil to Pay in the Backlands reminds us of Brazil’s political past, in which miserable people create antagonisms in the war for survival. Bia Lessa’s staging, however, highlights as the apex of this portrait of the country Riobaldo’s healing when he finds love through his relationship with Diadorim.
