PSYCHEdelight is a participatory theatre company of Sanctuary founded in 2011 by Sophie Besse Bertrand, a playwright and theatre director trained in both drama and therapy.  
​
We specialise in devised theatre using physical theatre and clowning to create performances that raise awareness, inspire connection, and spark social change. Our work celebrates diversity and promotes social inclusion by bringing together people from different backgrounds through multicultural and multilingual workshops and performances.

As a Theatre Company of Sanctuary, we are a place of welcome for people seeking asylum in the UK and are committed to challenging the negative narratives often associated with refugees.
​

We specialise in participatory theatre, our work is co-created by artists with diverse backgrounds - blending formal training and lived experience. We hold spaces for us all to meet, play and create together. 

Our inclusive and multilingual approach is rooted in devised theatre, physical theatre, clowning, and visual poetry—art forms that speak beyond words and across cultures.

We create shows, community events, and offer trainings  in physical theatre, facilitation, and clowning in London.

We also run clowning and devised theatre retreats at Canole Theatre, our home in Dordogne - France. We also regularly host free theatre residencies there, which we call “Theatre Woofing”,   More about our approach HERE.
