Recently 'America's Got Talent' season 14 shared a sneak peek of Verba Shadow's audition, and the heartwarming story they shared during their performance will have you bawling your eyes out. Verba Shadow troupe met nine years ago at university. Before their audition, the group revealed their performance is based on the story of love and hope. 

The talented troupe from Ukraine used light and shadow to tell a touching tale of a family torn apart by war.  During their performance, the troupe successfully managed to alter their bodies to look like objects that include a helicopter with a spinning propeller, a silhouette of a soldier saluting, a tombstone to a marriage chapel. There were no words said, but their performance portrayed so many emotions. 

Their performance had the judges and audience watching enraptured, wondering what would happen next. Once they were done with their performance, Verba Shadow received a standing ovation from all four judges and the audience. 

While the preview ends with the standing ovation, the series did not reveal if the troupe makes it to the next round or not. But looking at the applause the group received from the judges, it is safe to say that they might move on to the next round.
