Poland's foremost satirical writer Slawomir Mrozek is 75. The artist spent over three decades in exile, but returned to live in Krakow after the fall of communism.

In a grotesque manner, Mrozek uses the picture of a multigenerational family to demonstrate the crisis of values as a source of totalitarianism.

Listen to extracts from Tango written in 1964.
