Presenting the latest production in playwright Kenichi Suemitsu’s life work, the TRUMP series!
This 15th anniversary production tells the story of "Grand Guignol," which marked a major turning point for "TRUMP" as a series, as well as its sequel, the TV anime "Delico's Nursery": the TRUMP series' very first foray into full-fledged mystery — or rather, a strange and peculiar mystery!
First launched in 2009, the TRUMP series is a theatrical saga that Kenichi Suemitsu has dedicated himself to as a lifelong project. It began with the foundational work TRUMP, which portrayed vampire youths longing for life during their "cocoon phase"— the metaphorical equivalent of adolescence. Since then, the series has expanded to include numerous titles such as: "LILIUM – The Pure White Song of Maidenhood", "SPECTER", "Grand Guignol", "MARIGOLD", "COCOON: The Moon’s Shadow and a Single Star", "Kuro Sekai (Black World): Chapter of Rain / Chapter of Clear Skies", "VERACHICCA", and "LILIUM – The New Testament of the Pure White Song of Maidenhood".
The latest production, "MARIONETTE HOTEL", presents a twisted closed-circle mystery, performed by a stellar cast.
The music is composed by Shunsuke Wada, who has worked on many pieces throughout the TRUMP series.
≪Story≫
Everything is controlled by the strings of Initiative.
A “Closed Circle Mystery” takes place in a strange and peculiar hotel.
The world of vampires is a completely class-based society. Dali Delico, a high-ranking aristocrat, receives a letter from an unknown sender. The letter invites Dali to visit an old hotel, where he is welcomed by the manager Munch Milan and his employees.
The hotel is “Marionette Hotel”, where the Initiatives of all the employees and guests are under the control of a mysterious individual.
In the hotel are Jo Verachicca, the younger sister of Dali’s ex-fiancée Frieda, and her younger brother Ego Verachicca; Monet Stanfield, a former subordinate of Dali’s late father Claude; Francesca Fra, the younger sister of Dali’s old friend Gerhard; and other vampires with connections to the prestigious Delico family.
Dali and his company try to uncover the hotel's secrets.
Who is “The Puppeteer”, the mastermind behind this situation? Why was Dali led to Marionette Hotel?
As Dali tries to find answers, a past connection reveals itself....
