My name is João, and I’m originally from Porto. I have been living in Lisbon since I was seven years old. From an early age, I developed a passion for the arts, especially the performing arts. Thanks to a Gulbenkian competition, I gave up a (not particularly promising) career in medicine to pursue theatre instead. I trained in acting at the Institute for Social Development and later earned my degree from the School of Theatre and Cinema. Through art, I seek what is best in life.
