Absolute premiere
“What is a woman?” In The Second Sex (1949), Simone de Beauvoir transformed this question into a paradigmatic example that she would attempt to clarify from different perspectives: philosophical, historical, biological, psychological, economic and artistic.

Bigarren Sexua is a personal adaptation by Asier López Iraola (Beasain, 1979) which, conceived as a philosophical monodrama for soprano and instruments, blurs the frontiers between philosophy and music to induce reflection about feminist thinking and give a new meaning to the validity of a book that deals with an extremely present-day issue.

One of the most singular characteristics of this project is the text, written entirely in the Basque language for the soprano Jone Martinez, the second opera of this kind along with Arrosa Xuriaren Artean by Francisco Domínguez that BilbaoSinfonietta first performed in autumn 2021.
