According to many scholars, Seneca’s tragedies lack a dramatic structure. Thus, they wouldn’t fit to the stage. However, if we compare Seneca to another tradition, the Japanese Noh, plot doesn’t appear necessary for the stage. When comparing two similar plays–Senecas’Medea and the Noh Kanawa–we discover that the show is not based on a drama but rather on a theatrical codification. On the contrary to a realistic drama, the protagonist doesn’t perform a story but rather elements of show based on music and dance. Instead of the scenes, we have what we can call modules: elements of the show that have their own specificity and that work together as visual and aural components.
