Zumanity - another side of Cirque du Soleil

Zumanity : another side of Cirque du Soleil is an exploration of sex and sexuality, and the rango and depth of this exploration is wonderful. This production bears all of the classic trendmarks of a Cirque extravaganza, but is the first time that the company has dealt with the exploration of human sexuality. Zumanity´s look at love, sensuality and eroticism, in all its forms, is ultimately a story of human emotion, the nature of beauty and the acceptance of differences. It crosses many barriers - barriers of age, race, gender and preferences.

The show has certainly changed since it was first opened several years ago. It is almost a completely new show, and for the most part, it has much improved. It flows much better, there is a cohesiveness and a much better picture overall. The continual evaluation of the production that had been promised by the producers has really provided some very positive results.

Zumanity is not for everyone. Their investigation of sexuality is quite frank and could be off-putting to some. Not for everyone is going to be confortable seeing strapped-on phalluses or two men lovingly wrestling with each other, but it is a legitimate part of this production.

The transformation of the show-room at New York, New York Casino has been done brilliantly. The theater and the setting are beautiful. It looks like the circus has met the Moulin Rouge. The audience surrounds a thrust stage that juts out into the space, creating a great sense of intimacy. People sit much closer to the stage - causing a strong actor / audience relationship. Interaction is encouraged, and the performers always know that the audience is there. The lobby of the theatre has a lot of surprises too. It is worth taking some time to walk around prior to the show.

The show starts off wonderfully and continues to build throughout the production. Most of the acts are brilliant and amazing. The acts entitled "Hoops", "Straps", "Dislocation" and "Dance on TV" inform us, excite us and allow us to feel this aspect of exploring human sensuality. The show is sexy, provocative and challenging. It awakens the most primal urges to a new form of eroticism that blends movement, acrobatics and beautiful bodies with the sensual caress of the human voice and the insistent pulse of exotic rhythms.

The final act of the show is entitlet "Orgy" which is, unfortunately, unsatisfying. It is a piece in which the company involves the audience in group moans and breathing, but like all fake orgasms, leaves you wanting so much more.

The eforts of the producers - always looking to refine, change and improve the show - should be applauded. It has certainly come a long way since its opening. The seting and the theater are wonderful. The performersm as in all of the Cirque productions, are brilliant. The theme is strong and bears futher exploration, and Las Vegas certainly has a need for this production. The creators of Zumanity have a lot of be proud of with this show.
