Alexina B. Composing lives

In this artistic journey, Raquel García-Tomás transforms her approach to intersex reality into a source of empathy and inspiration, weaving a profound and sensitive work that not only brings Alexina B.’s story back to life but also gives visibility to a community often silenced. We accompany Raquel’s exploration of the intersex collective through her meeting with Camino Baró in the French town of Saint-Jean-d’Angély, the birthplace of Herculine Barbin, as well as through the testimony of Jordi Suárez.

The documentary delves into the essence of the creative process, showing how Raquel, together with stage director Marta Pazos and librettist Irène Gayraud, crafts an exceptional work where every musical and narrative decision comes to life, shaping this moving story. Moreover, the film offers the privilege of exploring unique moments, such as rehearsals, set design assembly, and other creative processes, revealing the complexity and effort behind this production, which culminates in the grand premiere at the prestigious Gran Teatre del Liceu.

With extraordinary sensitivity, Alexina B. Lives in Composition is a tribute to the story of Alexina B., the creative talent of its composer, and all those who strive to transform the world through art and culture.
