**DO NOT KILL HER** – *Letter to a man who is making the biggest mistake of his life*

**SYNOPSIS**
"Do Not Kill Her" is not just a show, but an authentic "emotional first aid device." The text, written by Pietro Annicchiarico, presents itself as a visceral monologue directed at a man at the moment when, overwhelmed by anger and pain from a separation, he is about to commit a fatal act. Far from positioning himself as a judge, the author—a separated father who has personally experienced the "darkness" of loss—addresses the interlocutor, trying to break the loop of obsessive thinking before it turns into tragedy. The work tackles the issue of femicide by overturning the usual perspective: theatre here becomes a tool to defuse violence, deconstruct the concept of possession, and promote a conscious human rebirth.

**CAST AND PRODUCTION**
To give voice to this civil urgency, the direction and performance are entrusted to Alfredo Traversa, an experienced actor and director, a graduate of the "Silvio D'Amico" National Academy, and always committed to "Civic and Investigative Theatre." Traversa has rigorously explored the theme of gender violence in works such as "Santa delle Perseguitate."
