Civil Disobedience: Morning is When I Am Awake and There is an Aurora in Me (1997) based on texts by Henry David Thoreau as written, directed and performed by Denise Stoklos, explores the possibilities of freedom—political, individual, sexual, artistic—in a society that keeps people needy and confined. Then—Thoreau’s 19th century New England—and now, in the throes of rampant capitalism at the end of the 20th century, this performance shows people weighed down, cramped, tormented, even driven to the point of madness by society’s imperative for compliance.”
