A Spiriti

A Spiriti is a theatre production by Ane Lan (Norway).

"Initium ut esset creatus est homo", it is said in Latin. The quote is from Saint Augustine and means "For there to be a beginning, the human being was created".

Throughout much of the tradition of Western thinking the soul has been regarded as the human core. This is the basis for A Spiriti by Ane Lan.

This is how the production A Spiriti by Ane Lan was described in the program of the Meteor festival 2011:

"Everything in nature, included the human body, is subject to laws of nature, and the soul has been regarded as a prisoner of the body; a substance yearning to surpass the finality of the body and to reach the eternal and unchangeable. For the founder of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, the human soul s activity is characterised by always being directed towards something, always intending something. When we sense anything, there is always a something to sense. When we understand anything, there is always a something to understand – independent of whether this something actually exists. From here we should attempt to understand the world anew, independent of the traditional confusion of the phenomena.

Hannah Arendt followed this trace. She returned to the beginning of our thinking s history to reveal that not only is the contemplation of eternity - whether represented by the ideas, God or laws of nature - the human purpose, but also realising one s own immortality through activity. And that our spiritual potential can only be realised in meeting with other humans."
