The Bellagio fountains, one of the best free things to do in Las Vegas<\/a>, is about to be turned into a massive, high-tech Kabuki theater.<\/p>\n

Japanese actor Ichikawa Somegoro will take to a 165-foot stage on Lake Bellagio to perform a Kabuki piece called “Koi-Tsikami,” or “Fight With a Carp.”<\/p>\n

The special performances are scheduled from August 14-16, 2015.<\/p>\n

\"Bellagio
Yes, there’s a plot! A man falls in love with a woman who is really a carp. She takes human form to exact revenge upon humans because they killed her fiance, also a carp. It only sounds like the origin story for Aquaman, trust us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The schedule for the “Fight With a Carp” show, which we can’t believe we’re actually typing, is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Aug. 14, 9:15 p.m.<\/li>\n
  • Aug. 15, 9:15 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.<\/li>\n
  • Aug. 16, 9:15 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Each performance will run 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

    During the performance, animations of a battle scene will be projected onto the Bellagio fountains. Shout-out to projection mapping! Water screen projections can be amazing. Why, here’s one now.<\/p>\n
