excerpts from 'Lovesick' dir. Lewis Cohen, Galafilm 2005
Spymonkey in Zumanity
‘The Puritans surrender to prurience and fornicate with anything in reach: one another, the audience, a lifesize doll that actually does come to life and tries to seduce a fellow in the front row. Arousal! Appalling! And most deftly done.’ Time Magazine
In 2003 Spymonkey and director Cal McCrystal were invited by Cirque du Soleil to create and perform the comedy numbers for ‘Zumanity - Another Side of Cirque du Soleil’, the adult cabaret they were creating in Las Vegas. Spymonkey’s surreal and irreverent style made them the uproarious highlight of the show. Between its opening in August 2003 and Spymonkey's much mourned departure in August 2005 their numbers in ‘Zumanity’ were enjoyed by over half a million people.
