ZumanityZumanity is a show from Cirque du Soleil, described by the Cirque du Soleil web site as "the other side of Cirque du Soleil". A recent Zumanity press release described the show in this way: - "ZUMANITY bears all the characteristics of a classic Cirque du Soleil production movement, music, color, acrobatics, dance but is Cirques first production to deal with human sexuality. ZUMANITYs exploration of love, sensuality and eroticism, in all its forms and from all perspectives, is ultimately a tale of humanity, emotion, the nature of beauty and the acceptance of differences.
- More theatrical than circus spectacle, the creators of ZUMANITY have moved away from the world of the circus and put a new twist on the risqu sometimes raucous intimacy of the European cabaret tradition.
- ZUMANITY emphasizes a multicultural approach to the disciplines of dance, movement, acrobatic techniques, costumes and music. In ZUMANITY, contortion, driving salsa music, fire-eating, uninhibited African dance, tango, waltz and passionate flamenco all speak the same language of excitement and desire.
- Cirque du Soleils performers have always been known for taking physical risks, but the risk-taking in ZUMANITY is also operating on artistic and emotional levels. The 50 members of the cast of ZUMANITY are more identifiable as individuals than in any previous Cirque du Soleil production. And they are not acting parts written for them, they are playing extensions of themselves the people they really are. The people who inhabit this human zoo come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and conditions, all colors and varieties and ZUMANITY rejoices in the infinite variety of ways in which they express their own sexuality and their desire for each other."
Zumanity is the third show from the group, resident in Las Vegas (alongside O and Mystre). Intended for an adult audience, it can be found at the New York-New York hotel and casino on Las Vegas Blvd (The Strip).
