"People were always like, 'Oh, that's a girl thing, you're a f** or whatever,'" he says."Back then, I didn't even know what it was. I just knew it was negative. It's a very sexist space and homophobic and all that." It was during his Ph.D. — when Menário Costa was on this other continent half a world away from Brazil — that he managed to connect with who he really was. He came out as queer. He started singing and dancing out in the world again. And after finishing his Ph.D. amidst the struggles of COVID and bushfires, Menário Costa decided to leave science and dive into creative work.
In addition, kangaroo siblings often have similar personalities, and for that Menário Costa dances alongside his own sister — the first family member to ever visit him in Australia."One of the main reasons that made her want to come was to be in that video," he says."It was so special having her here."
