In Spongebabe in L.A. (4 Love & Anxiety), Mercedes Dassy crafts a riveting solo about resilience and rebirth.
On stage, she becomes Spongebabe, a post-apocalyptic pop star preparing for a grand comeback. Blending dance, speech and music, she shares intimate thoughts on heartbreak, gentleness and transformation. Immersive and vibrant, the piece captures the raw energy of change. Dassy invites us to embrace those moments when we must reinvent ourselves to rise again.
