KOREAN company Cho In Theatre visit The Hawth next week to present their production of The Angel and the Woodcutter.
The Korean folk tale is told entirely without words and is set to haunting Korean music.
Taking place amid the war and desolation, an angel takes on human form with the tale exploring the extreme fragility of everyday life and the strength and endurance of human love.
It is based around an old woman's quest to get an angel to marry her woodcutter son by stealing the angel's winged garments.
But when war arrives the son is forced to join the army, abandoning the angel and his mother in the woods.
The play is inspired by their country's experiences during the Japanese Occupation and the Korean War and this physical theatre production manages to reach out to western audiences with its unique message of love, compassion and hope for humanity.
The show was nominated for Amnesty's Freedom of Expression award 2007.
