Cold Case - Dance Performance

Cold Case is a dance theater performance by Alex Schmidt, premiering December 5-6, 2025, at Irondale Center in Brooklyn, NY.

The cast features Alex Schmidt as 'Poppy', Katie LeHoty as 'Ivy', Abigail Linnemeyer as 'Lily', and Joey Mattar as 'Clyde'. Cold Case tells a fictionalized story that explores the harrowing reality faced by victims in captivity, while simultaneously delving into the unsettling psyche of the abductor. As the narrative unfolds, audiences will be taken on an emotional journey through the contrasting perspectives of the captor and captives, deeply exploring themes of fear, hope, desperation, and resilience, ultimately capturing the complexities of human psychology. Central to the story is the antagonist 'Clyde', and viewers will uncover the journey that led him to this chilling point. This performance addresses different psychological concepts one may experience in response to trauma, such as Stockholm Syndrome, emotional numbness, and repressed memories.

Is there hope, or will they become Cold Cases after all?
