VELVET ROPE
A play that dives into the unknown and often stigmatized world of stripping. An exploration of women’s sexuality and its perception in society. Provocative. Velvet Rope forces us to re-examine our sexual boundaries and reasses the liberated from the bound and restricted. In many ways, we are all bound by society’s demands, but are sexually aware women being strategically shamed? Is a woman who is in and aware of her body too unsettling and threatening for our modern day world? And more importantly, when it comes to women, where does the root of their power stem from?
Is it possible for a woman to find power in her sexuality where others might label it exploitation? One college sophomore sets out to explore this very topic by going “undercover” at the local strip club and stepping into the world of a stripper. What she finds leaves her questioning herself, her sexuality, and her perception of fantasy.
