But have you ever thought that you would also have the opportunity to play Hamlet, experience the ultimate dilemma he faces, and understand the joys and sorrows he experiences? Pick up the sword and pierce all conspiracies, evil and ugliness!
The paradox of fate, on the edge of life and death
Should he swallow his anger and accept the attacks of violent fate, or should he stand up against the endless suffering and end the suffering through struggle? When thinking about the paradox of fate, perhaps the answer can only be found between survival and destruction.
The Embalmer's Deduction Star costume "Hamlet" perfectly showed the melancholy and pain of the prince who was tested by fate. He was dressed in a black gold-rimmed embroidered dress. The silk-like texture, sophisticated tailoring and complex patterns showed nobility, but his eyebrows were lowered, his lips were pursed, and his left fist was clenched, as if he was trying hard to control the pain and anger in his heart.
Hamlet is carrying a silver suitcase in his right hand. The box is engraved with a sword and a rose. The former symbolizes fighting and resistance, while the latter represents love and cherishment. What is placed in the box that is worthy of Hamlet's love and fighting for?
Like other Deduction Star costumes, Hamlet's appearance is full of drama. In the character showroom interface, he slid out on his knees, holding a sword in his right hand and waving his left hand with emotion, as if reciting the well-known question - "To be, or not to be, that is the question." Then, a statue appeared. The coffin emerges, and Hamlet digs out a groove with his sword, sets his sword into the coffin lid, and buries it together. In the chasing interface, Hamlet will also dance gracefully, and his dance movements are full of his complicated emotions.
Accompany death and guard the end of life
The Embalmer Aesop Carl is one of the most popular survivors in the manor. He is engaged in the work of repairing and sorting the corpses of the deceased. His emphasis on life makes him particularly respect every "traveler" who reaches the end of his life. Carl strictly followed every step of the procedure, just to allow the deceased to pass away peacefully in the same intact condition as when they were alive.
One is a prince who is confused by the philosophical problems of survival and destruction, and the other is an Embalmer who stands at the threshold of death to provide comfort to the living. Their thoughts and life experiences about life and death will create a unique chemical reaction in their combination, creating a unique atmosphere for everyone. Bring players unforgettable chasing memories.
To be, or not to be? Will you choose to become Hamlet and embark on the road of revenge, or will you choose to surrender to fate and surrender to the fierce pursuit? Come and make your choice.
