ZUMANITY
at
New York, New York Hotel
ZUMANITY bears
all the characteristics of a classic Cirque du Soleil production —movement,
music, color, acrobatics, dance — but is Cirque’s first production
to deal with human sexuality.
ZUMANITY’s 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 risqué — sometimes raucous
—intimacy of the European cabaret tradition.
ZUMANITY emphasizes 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.
