Luke Costabile
The Music that Made Me (Gay)
What was it about the early 2000s, where things were carefree but also really high strung? Chill but also panicked?
Those of us who grew up in the 2000s will remember the flared jeans, the train conductor hats and also that small bandaid on Nelly’s face.
What we will also remember is the many signs telling us that we’re not quite right. Too uncool. Too fat. Too gay.
For the little boy who played with girls and loved Xtina, there were some tribulations to go through. Luke Costabile explores what it means to navigate youth in a series of anecdotes and live renditions of the bops of the 2000s. Because along the way, there are those magical moments where you forget your insecurities and you outwardly and proudly proclaim who you are. What is that thing? Where does it come from?
Suitable for audiences 13+
Death and grief
