All you need to know about Nipple Caps and G-strings

Nipple Caps and G-Strings, in its current form, is a combination of the best of the trilogy of Whore, Nipple Caps & G-Strings and Academy of Love. All three of these shows were created by Deon Opperman and performed by Gigi at various festivals and venues around the country.

In the current show, audiences meet the character Natasja, who after graduating from University and becoming a lecturer, then became a stripper. Audiences are given insights into what really goes on in strip-clubs – and what goes on in the mind of the stripper. It also explores desire, in both men and women, and how do the myriad forms of love, relationships, and marriage and sex fit into all of this?

The show features a live lap dance demonstration on a male audience member (most volunteer quite happily) and has been the source of much mirth and resultant audience entertainment. Then Natasja, who has been at peace with her single life and her profession, falls in love. Something she never thought would happen. She must now decide whether to be honest with the man she loves about her past and face rejection, or whether to walk away and lose him. With this dilemma in mind, the play delves further into relationships, and  focuses on the challenges of ‘keeping the magic alive’ in a life-long partnership that many couples will identify with and chuckle along to.

Fantasy too, in its many different forms is explored, as well as the motivations behind the age-old tradition of the bachelor party. Gigi proceeds with a live demonstration of a bachelor party using a few male volunteers from the audience, with one of them being assigned the role of the hapless Bachelor.

Not to leave out any of the female members of the audiences, Gigi encourages a few of them up onto stage (all completely voluntary) for them to try their hand at various forms of erotic dancing (all fully clothed) to really give the men in their lives a serious alternative to a regular night in front of the telly. The show asks the question – is sexy an attitude?

See you there,
