About Aisha Kalymzhanova (Kazakhstan)
Kazakh Princess Diaries is a fast-paced, cabaret-style solo musical comedy in which one actress plays six vibrant characters. The story follows Tomi, a luxury-obsessed teen who discovers she is heir to the Kazakh throne and is thrust into a remote village where she faces intense culture shock, eccentric relatives, and a journey of hilarious, chaotic self-discovery. Featuring original music blending jazzy and theatrical styles, it is a bold exploration of identity, privilege and belonging told through the eyes of Aisha Kalymzhanova, a Kazakh performer. The show runs 45 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and over.
