History of Visuals


 

Zumanity [zü'man-eh-tee] is described as "an intense visit to a world where human inhibitions are both unveiled and discarded, where style and intense sensual passion share an uncommon stage." Cirque recently offered this definition of the word: "n. n. Neologism dating from 2003, contraction of the words "zoo" and "humanity." 1. A human zoo. 2. A new form of eroticism which blends dance movement, acrobatics and beautiful bodies with the sensual caress of the human voice and the pulse of exotic rhythms. 3. An exploration that awakens the most primal urges in human beings."

Zumanity is a stunning exploration of the hidden forces behind desire, and a celebration of human diversity. It's sensual, sexual, and in your face. This show will awaken the most primal urges of generations x, y and z to a new form of eroticism, which lends dance movement, skillful acrobatics and beautiful bodies of many shapes and sizes with the sensual caress of the human voice and the pulsation of exotic rhythms and sultry tones.

Sexuality, a touchy subject for many, is comprised of many things: romanticism, sensuality, love, friendship, and brotherhood. Zumanity celebrates all of those things, to shatter the stereotypes of what is beautiful, to be more accepting of differences in human sexuality. Zumanity is a show for lovers, would-be lovers and those simply fascinated by love.

Don't be intimitated - come, sit back... relax. Enjoy yourself. Open your mind and your soul and let your senses feast on this Garden of Delights.
