More Cirque: Zumanity Information

The creative team behind Cirque du Soleil wanted to explore another side of their typical circus arts show, and so Zumanity was born. Their goal was to create a show that embodied emotions and humanity through uninhibited exploration of sensuality and sexuality that is so close to our daily life. The objective, simply stated, is to invoke, provoke, and evoke through creativity the human emotions tied in to sensuality and sexuality.

Writer and Director Rene Richard Cyr is a versatile and creative director who gained experience as an actor, writer, director, and producer. Cyr collaborated with long time partner Dominic Champagne to complete the final touches on the show. These two creative minds accomplished the challenging feat of creating a show that celebrates the human body in a tasteful way as well as incorporating the vibrant spirit of Cirque du Soleil. Creative Director Andrew Watson and Costume Designer Thierry Mugler join Cyr and Champagne to finish out the heart of the creation team. Set designer Stephan Roy uses family influences and childhood friendships as inspiration in creating sets for Cirque du Soleil and Zumanity.
