Cirque du Soleil: Zumanity at New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas
Zumanity is hot, heavy and heart-stopping. This is Cirque du Soleil's most playful and provocative performance — a self-proclaimed "erotic thrill ride." Written and directed by René Richard Cyr and Dominic Champagne, Zumanity has given the Las Vegas Strip an extra dose of sex — without the sin — since it premiered in 2003 at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. Unlike other family-friendly Cirque productions, this cabaret-style show is for mature eyes only, but still features the brand's world-class dance and acrobatics, with a touch of humor and nonstop thrills. In 2015, the show was revamped to feature updated characters, music, choreography and costumes. All attire has been designed by French fashion designer Thierry Mugler, who makes liberal use of fur, leather, velvet, feathers and cone bras — the quintessential Vegas look.
About the show Zumanity
Cirque du Soleil: Zumanity showcases all the beauty, grace and possibilities of the human body. Hosted by the Mistress of Sensuality, the show runs through a mind-boggling array of titillating acts that flirt with the limits of movement, sex and sensuality. It undulates between big, flashy dance numbers and quiet, intimate performances, highlighted by colorful — if not barely-there — dress and incredible displays of strength, flexibility and athleticism. To get the audience in the mood, the Spirits of the Wind perform an elegant dance on the rose-petal-strewn stage before Afrique, the African Queen, kicks up the pace. From there, two women — who also happen to be extraordinary contortionists — purify their love in the "Water Bowl." The mohawked Biker flips, twists and clings to a chain, sometimes by the mere strength of his feet. And a woman's fantasy becomes reality, all from the precarious seat of a giant hoop. There's also a stunning aerial silks act, a suggestive use of aerial straps, a James Bond–inspired striptease, juggling, breakdancing, S&M teasing, and a pink-champagne–filled tub that becomes a desirable playground for free spirits and free love. The best part: Audience members are invited to join in on the erotic fun at the end.
