Heart of Stone is the tale of a gifted youth from a small village in Kazakhstan who dreams of a starring role under the white lights of the Moscow stage, only to discover that he must hold on to the colorful threads of his own off-limits culture in order to be free. This is the never-before told story of the coming-of-age of award-winning Russian choreographer Alisher Khasanov, Muslim and Uyghur, poetically told in dance, music and multi-media.
