Fringe Spotlight: Primal Bog
Rosa Garland explores the complexities of queer intimacy.
Inspired by Rosa Garland’s personal journey through psychosexual therapy and queer intimacy, Primal Bog rejects commodified self-care and corporate-friendly queer liberation instead embracing a defiant celebration of bodies unburdened by the male gaze.
Through lip syncs, storytelling, lesbian slime wrestling, live tattooing, and cameos from Sean Bean, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Rosa’s own asshole, Primal Bog embarks on a playful and rebellious journey into desires too often hidden.
“Finding your pleasure isn’t always clean or aesthetically pleasing, especially when you’ve grown up queer and closeted..." says Rosa Garland. "I want audiences to dive into the strangest and most liberating ride of their lives—to embrace curiosity, tenderness, playfulness, and even flippancy with our bodies rather than constantly ‘preserving the merchandise.’ Come into the bog; the mud is fine.”
