Ha Ha Davinci

Hailed as “imaginative, intelligent, and strangely mesmerizing” by the San Diego Union Tribune, Phina Pipia’s award–winning solo show captivates audiences young and old. 

A tuba lights the way, beds make music, paintings come to life, and a radio delivers a message from the past. This whimsical production combines elements of illusion, music, and theatre to weave a story both silly yet profound. When a young grad student discovers that Leonardo da Vinci and his collaborator, magician and mathematician Luca Pacioli, invented a time machine, she is zapped back to the Renaissance. It’s up to her to decode their notes and solve a 15th-century mystery so that she can return to the present.

Winner of the San Diego International Fringe Festival’s Outstanding Solo Performance Award, the Vancouver Fringe Festival’s Joanna Maratta Award, and named a Top Pick at the San Diego Fringe by PBS, Ha Ha Da Vinci invites audiences of all ages into a world where they can safely expect the delightfully unexpected.
