With Zumanity, Cirque du Soleil takes a bold new direction, exploring the full spectrum of human sexuality and intimacy to create a mosaic of love in all its shapes and forms. Emceed by Zumanity's resident "Mistress of Seduction" (famed drag diva Joey Arias) and distinguished by unconventional artists and the candid exhibition of sensuality, the production tells a story of emotional freedom, natural beauty and the acceptance of differences.

Zumanity by Cirque du Soleil is a sight to behold but may not be for those of a more conservative nature. Considered the Sensual Side of Cirque du Soleil, Zumanity is a raucous journey through sexuality and is presented in an unconventional and tongue-in-cheek fashion. Each of the scenes is captivating and inimitable, from the opening ‘Extravaganza’ to the incredible contortionist and aquatic talents on display during the ‘Waterbowl’ scene. One of the most often talked about scenes is the ‘Hoops’ sequence which takes place dozens of feet in the air and will leave your jaw on the floor, also the wardrobe choice for this scene is wildly popular. Throughout the show the audience is kept company by the various hosts for the evening; all offer clever commentary and their own spin on the subject matter.
Complementing this wildly popular show is live music and a beautiful stage that is the gem of this 1,200+ seat theater. As mentioned earlier, Zumanity is not necessarily for everyone but those with the right mindset and a willingness to have a great time will definitely enjoy. It is a departure from other more traditional Cirque du Soleil productions because of the more ‘blue’ subject matter; however the presentation and skill of the performers will quickly clue you into how amazing this show, by one of the most famous production companies in the world, truly is.
