Although the performance of Seneca's tragedies basically has no great tradition in the Czech Republic and Seneca is unknown to the general public as an author of tragedies, the team of Divadlo v Dlouhe decided to present a performance of his Phaedra. Thus a remarkable, even artistic performance was created, based on highly stylized movements and declamations, emphasizing the poetic nature of the text and experimenting with the theatrical space. The article provides a description of this performance.
