• Unbounded:

” In UNBOUNDED, Romulus Neagu signs the concept and choreographic coordination, João Santiago co-creates and interprets and Cristóvão Cunha, signs the light design. Thus written, it may seem that I am simply making known the show’s artistic record, but this is not my intention. In fact, I would like to be able to describe in words the feeling of being able to see on stage the real dialogue that takes place between the work of the three professionals involved. The scenic space and the light design are breathtaking. Beautiful and efficient. Breath that we recover with breaths, security and fluidity in the execution of each movement by the interpreter and co-creator. I imagine that conceiving and choreographically coordinating this work was extremely rich. “​

(Artistic Director of CIA. Dançando com a diferença)

In 2017, João was part of Romulus Neagu’s Creation “Unbounded” a piece premiered in Teatro Viriato, Viseu (Portugal). A Piece about the similar relationship between human development and artistic creation and how The process of preparing the individual as a social element is the same as the process of training the individual as a performer.

• Casa:

In 2013, João was part of Romulus Neagu´s and João Dias Creation “CASA” created and performed in Jardins Efémeros Festival, Viseu (Portugal).  In this project, pieces of furniture are reused / transformed into plastic objects, camouflaged with Drawing language.

These objects work with the idea of a “site specific” installation, complemented by documentation in photography and video. Each intervention is thought of in a performative and choreographic way with the inhabitants while these objects integrate the public space.
