2 roles
Lead. Androgynous look. Croh is determined to move past the sexual assault they experienced. Exhausted from the constant pursuit, they slowly release the grip on themselves. However, the experience, represented by The Bug, follows them constantly, like a parasite. Stunt training or experience with physical roles is a plus, not required.
Unconventional facial features. The Bug is what remains of the sexual violence on Croh, externalized, and they can’t get rid of it. Deeply unsettling yet familiar, The Bug fights and interacts with Croh in a cheeky and perhaps deceitful way. Must be comfortable with elaborate costume and heavy makeup. Stunt training is a plus, or experience with physicality is a plus; not required.
