LOS ANGELES TIMES, 8 SEPT 2003
'Amongst all this lust and ambivalence are a few numbers of transcendent beauty. Two charming, petite and topless contortionists, one Russian and one Mongolian, dance erotically and lovingly with each other both in and out of a large, water-filled martini glass — a lively update of a classic burlesque routine. Underwater, their graceful movements are magnified, and these martini girls transform into the exotic mermaids of one's dreams.'

‘Among the best acts [of Zumanity] is an intimate and loving water ballet performed by two women, Bolormaa Zorigtkhuyag and Gyulnara Karaeva, in a 500-gallon glass of water.'

‘Despite the warm, sensual atmosphere, Zumanity still features dazzling displays of human capabilities stretched to their limits… Gyulnara Karaeva and Bolormaa engage in an astonishing display of poise, beauty and skill in and on a giant water bowl.'

LAS VEGAS TRIBUNE, 21 JAN 2005
‘The show explores the earthy side of love, the stage is a zoo and the cast are animals. The cast moves freely, crawling, twisting, and dancing in a spontaneous mixture of sensuality and art. With provocative costumes, raunchy dialogue, and fettish-style scenes, this type of production is a first for Cirque du Soleil and for the strip. During one burlesque-era act, 2 women are swimming, rubbing against each other, and splashing around in a champagne glass filled with water. One female grabs the other and pulls her under water with double jointed, incredible dance-like movements.'

‘The show starts off wonderfully and continues to build throughout the production. Most of the acts are brilliant and amazing. The acts entitled "the water bowl," "body to body," "dislocation," and the "dance on TV" inform us, excite us, and allow us to feel this aspect of exploring human sensuality. The show is sexy, provocative and challenging. It awakens the most primal urges to a new form of eroticism that blends movement, acrobatics and beautiful bodies with the sensual caress of the human voice and the insistent pulse of exotic rhythms.'

LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL, 22 AUG 2003
‘Keep the (nearly) naked contortionists. Their update of the old burlesque-era "Champagne glass" striptease in the water is one of the sequences everyone seemed to like.'

LA DAILY TIMES, 2 NOV 2003
‘I felt there should be a sign at the theater exit that reads, ‘What you have seen was performed by trained professionals; do not attempt this in your hotel room.' Besides, you'd need a suite just to get in all the equipment and outfits. In a curved, clear fish bowl, two lithe, topless women (Zorigtkhuyag Bolormaa and Gyulnara Karaeva) cavort, slither past each other in the water and sensually caress each other. But - and it's a big qualification - the pair then also perform some absolutely stunning feats of balance and daring, as spectacular as anything in Cirque. This is what takes ‘Zumanity' beyond a Vegas showgirls performance. When one of the acrobats does a back dive into the bowl - which is perhaps 3 feet deep at its lowest spot in the curve - you have to hold your breath.'
