ABSTRACT

The article describes the recycling of two central situationist strategies – détournement and dérive – in the site-specific performance FOR ANDRE TING, which the author realised with a group of students at the University of Agder (Kristiansand, Norway) in 2018. The performance referred to the controversial public debate about the project to transform Kristiansand’s old corn-silo into the spectacular museum-building Kunstsilo, and the article shows how the recycling of the aforementioned situationist strategies evokes this reference and its contexts. Finally, it elucidates this recycling in relation to the term postspectacular theatre, as the author proposed it in his homonymous study from 2009.
