Zumanity has been called The "sizzling side" of Cirque du Soleil, a much more "provocative and cabaret production with a Cirque du Soleil twist." That is how you can put some of it into words, but there's much more to it than that, so here goes.
With something more flash oriented done with the talent and grandeur of Cirque du Soleil, the possibilities of what can happen are intriguing indeed.
The distinguishing feature of this artistic company is its willingness to take risks, said Andrew Watson, who is Cirque du Soleil's director of creation. "Each creation is a challenge and a deliberate risk." Zumanity is definitely a risk for Cirque du Soleil, more so than anything the company has done before.
Vegas is no stranger to big productions, and Cirque du Soleil now presents a new show that's larger than life. Cirque du Soleil definitely wanted to do something new and different with Zumanity, and there's a lot of unique shows you can do within the Cirque du Soleil format.
'Zumanity includes all the elements you've come to expect from Cirque du Soleil,' one review states. "Music, color, acrobatics and dance. The difference here is their exploration of love."
Zumanity was put together by an incredible creative team including artistic guide Guy Laliberte, who co-founded Cirque du Soleil, show creator and costumer Thierry Mugler, director and show concept writer Dominic Champagne, writer / director Rene Richard Cyr, as well as set designers, choreographers, lighting designers, not to mention 47 performers, and more coming together to create the show.
