The trouble with making a show of d/s (i.e. inequal authority, obedience) is that it requires a context. You could show obedience by asking the bottom to do something and then observing that he did it, but you need more context to establish that he wouldn't have done it anyway. Elegant, perhaps ritualized service. It's somewhat showy--although it doesn't strike me as a club thing, but then again, I very rarely visit clubs. It's still not properly showing off d/s, but it might be closer to what you want. Mental bondage or position holding, maybe. You could emphasize the "ropes of self-discipline" quality by asking the bottom to hold a difficult position, and then the bottom could communicate his or her distress before the audience. Interrogations aren't exactly d/s in my mind, but according to your last post, you want verbal things--and interrogations certainly put more emphasis on the mental and verbal than the physical. Humiliation or degradation play is verbal, too.
