Who We Are

Theatre of Eternal Values (TEV) was founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of Sahaja Yoga and a Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, in May 1996 in Gent, Belgium. It was created to be and certainly still is a bold and unique experiment in international theatre; theatre intended to touch hearts and minds, and affirm the fundamental values of human life.

From the beginning, the aim of those involved with TEV was to develop productions beyond cultural, racial and national boundaries. A testament to this is the group's membership which is currently from more than seventeen countries. This international cast has chosen to focus on creative interpretations of classic western theatre, but has also written own plays. Through these plays they have sought to present the universal teachings and wisdom that have rediscovered through introspective meditation. Each production has been a magical experience as the varied voices of the cast have come together in harmony.

Although TEV performs principally in English, the group strives to bring together the unique strengths of each individual player in very production. TEV's belief is that a rebirth of theatre will only come about through genuine international collaboration. Supposed cultural differences present no barrier to the power of a truly moving performance, and so it is with the Theatre of Eternal Values
