The Psychedelic Theatre het by Innibos 2023 opgetree. Hulle was uitstekend en het 'n feestelike atmosfeer na die fees gebring. Hulle was professioneel en hulle kostuums was asemrowend mooi en hulle optredes uit die boonste rakke. Ons gaan hulle beslis weer kry om hier op te tree en ons beveel hulle sterk aan. More...

Psychedelic theatre has been a significant part of the Pod journey and been a primary part of our production team for the Pod festivals and Tankwa Classics. I have had the privilege of working with Lanel and her talented dancers while I was running Pod and am so grateful for the professionalism and commitment they have brought to the Pod experience. Shelani , Duncan , Jalene, Kai ,Tash and Jesyka to name a few of the talented dancers who have performed and gifted their time and talent. I want to also acknowledge the creative expression of our shared dream to produce something extraordinary and special , the many hours of rehearsal and brainstorming ideas to create magic, the behind the scenes work that goes into making something come alive. Lanel has been a significant contributor to Pod, gifting us with costumes and equipment for Pod Easter 2022, choreographing the exquisite dance Spiral dream inspired by Pod and working with me to make it all work financially and practically. Thank you Lanel and the Psychedelic theatre for all you have contributed to Pod, it was a joy to work with you .💗Avril More...

AMAZING AMAZING!!! We travelled from the US to Cape Town for our wedding. A big part of our wedding was entertainment. We had a particular vision in mind and Lanel and her team absolutely delivered! Lanel and her team communicated and coordinated very well. We would highly recommend this company to anybody seeking entertainment for a function. Here is a link to the performance Lanel and her team put together (it’s the fire dancing parts in the video). https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdaYKEeqeuX/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Thank you for everything, Lanel!!!!

Lanel and her team worked on our Africhemiq event this past weekend and they really brought our event to life with their fire and LED performances. They totally elevated the entire experience and I was just totally blown away by their impact on everyone’s energy. I can’t wait to have The Psychedelic perform at our future events and festivals!

Lanel and her amazing team performed at my daughters St Cyprians grade 7 farewell in November’21. They were beyond incredible. So professional and their performance was seamless. I had seen their acts at a few festivals and blown away every time. The entire process from conception to the final performance was impeccable. I would highly recommend them for any event be it small or large. An absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you so much 💜💜💜 More...
