People enter the small room in turn. Firstly, one by one, then the sequences of rhythmical moves start looping and overlapping, but characters do not interfere with each other. It is accurate time compression within a limited space. Tango won the very first Oscar in the history of Polish cinema.

Zbigniew Rybczyński, born in 1949 – graduated from the film school in Łódź. He is a cinemato-grapher, scriptwriter, and director of animated and experimental films. He left Poland after re-ceiving Oscar for Tango. He went to the U.S. where he was acclaimed as the „pope of the video art”.
