Cuando las piedras vuelen

What beauty - a work of essences and philosophy about dance itself, about its changing nature and its perpetual outpouring of feelings

- Julia Martín, El Mundo

Rocío Molina was born in Malaga in 1984 and started dancing at just three years old. In spite of her youth, her awards already include the Mario Maya al Baile Press Prize (2008), the Giraldillo Prize for the Best Choreography (2008) and the Cátedra de Flamencología de Jerez Prize (2009) for her work, Oro Viejo. Described by the critics as a "highly gifted and intelligent" dancer, Rocío Molina combined her talents with those of Carlos Marquerie (writer, stage director, painter, set and lighting designer) to create this flamenco production which overflows with visual force and aesthetic power. Marquerie reflects on Cuando las piedras vuelen with this recollection: "Just after midnight. The day has passed between memories of the sea and of Rocío's dance, strangely united. I go to bed with images of great stones, rocks that seem to pulse, to breathe, and among them it is as if the essence of movement were born, as if the stones themselves were about to shatter to give birth to a dance, a beautiful dance."

The singing of Rosario Guerrero "La Tremendita" and Gema Caballero, the hand-clapping of Vanessa Coloma and Laura González and the guitars of Paco Cruz and Juan Antonio Suárez "Cano" accompany Rocío Molina on this journey full of contemporary style, feeling and poetry.

Cuando las piedras vuelen was premiered on October 9, 2009, in Gijón's Teatro de la Laboral.
