The University of Trieste, within the framework of the PRO-BENE-COMUNE project, is organising the theatre performance Te La Sei Cercata (You Asked For It), scheduled for Thursday, 19 September 2025 at 5:00 PM at Teatro Basaglia (via Edoardo Weiss 13, Trieste). The initiative has received the free patronage of the Regional Commission for Equal Opportunities and the University's Committee for Equal Opportunities (CUG).

The performance, proposed by PROSCENIUM Teatro APS, alternates monologues, dialogues, and songs to narrate – with sensitivity, engagement, and emotion – stories related to the theme of gender-based violence, offering the audience a space for reflection and awareness. The narrative gradually evolves into a constructive perspective, inviting cultural change and the building of a society based on respect and equal opportunities.

Performed by Ascanio Caruso and Barbara Muzzin Stifanich, with musical contributions by Veronika Di Lillo.

The event will be opened by institutional greetings from Rector Donata Vianelli and Professor Barbara Penolazzi, scientific coordinator of the PRO-BENE-COMUNE project.

A discussion with professionals in the field will follow the performance, featuring:

• Corinna Mestroni, Regional Commissioner for Equal Opportunities
• Ferdinando di Gennaro and Micol Molino, Police Inspectors (Crime Division – Trieste Police Headquarters)
• Patrizia Romito, Associate Professor at UniTS, lecturer in the course “Gender-Based Violence”
• Giorgia Tamburini, psychologist and psychotherapist, GOAP
• David Daris, psychologist and psychotherapist, INTERPARES
• Ascanio Caruso, President of PROSCENIUM Teatro APS, moderator

Admission is free with mandatory reservation via QR code, subject to availability.
The event is open to the entire university and local community.

WORKSHOP “Education in Relationships and Prevention of Violence”
