Part clowning, part surreal social experiment, part connection-forging alchemy, Julia Masli’s award-winning solo phenomenon ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (a New York Times Top Pick of the Year) arrives in San Francisco for two weeks following a string of critically acclaimed runs across the USA and Europe. Performer Julia Masli creates a hilarious, yet moving and unpredictable live experience at the intersection of comedy and performance. What begins as playful improvisation evolves into a collective ritual of care, vulnerability, and unexpected humor. Masli explores the subtle boundary between a laugh and a tear, proving that one lies very close to the other.
The Guardian says ha ha ha ha ha ha ha is “a great unexpected carnival of mutual care, ring-led with a featherlight touch by a clown whose mischief is matched only by her compassion.”
Utterly unlike anything else onstage, this is a completely different experience every night that keeps audiences coming back again and again.
