Abstract
The author tries to illustrate the issue of artivism through the recent local example of post-dramatic theatre — a project 'Where is the Revolution, Scum?', performed at the Belgrade International Theatre Festival in 2014 and the Zagreb Youth Theatre in 2015 by the Montažstroj performing troupe, directed by Borut Šeparović. Milohnić’s term 'artivism', which he created according to the concept 'ar/ctivism' of Marion Hamm, equally includes activist and artistic practice. The performative element, a drop of reality, hitting with a hammer at a cult album, the vinyl record 'Paket aranžman' (published in 1981), which is performed by Ante Perković, can be read as cancelling materialization of music and its release from market laws. In its entirety, 'Where is the Revolution, Scum?' is built on opposing copyright and copyleft in reference to its performative archi-text, the performance of 'MČŽPC', which was banned due to copyright infringement.
