Giulietta Tisminetzky
Writer, Actor, Producer
“Tisminetzky writes and performs the short piece under Ella Rowdon’s direction. It’s almost a one-woman play – she’s accompanied by Laura Reznek on violin, who performs a live score. It’s integral to the production and could be described as a character in itself, facing down Tisminetzky’s unnamed character as she fails to be honest with herself[…]. It’s a slim tale, coming in at just under 45 minutes, but there is enough to it that it feels whole, if not expansive. Tisminetzky makes the experience, the stakes and the outcomes real.”

As our protagonist declares, “This is my story, but it’s also the story of many women”. And she’s not wrong; @HowtoKillAChicken stands as a powerful testament, empowering women to reclaim their stories and cast away shame. ⭐5/5 "
