“TIR”, which means “truck” in Polish, is a short story about how small decisions, fractions of a second, can affect people’s lives.
A man crosses the street, gets into his truck, and sets out on the road. After a while, he notices a pretty woman. The author gives us two options to complete this story: one in which the man decides to pursue the woman he meets, and the other in which he does not show any interest. As it turns out later, this small decision may determine the fate of the life of an innocent little girl walking on the crosswalk eating ice cream.
VV, a Vernacular Visual shortcut, is a form of theatrical expression, expressing stories through strong body movements, iconic signs, gestures, and facial expressions. VV has elements of poetry and mime, but it’s completely different because it’s expressed visually, more like a performance. VV can be done solo or in groups. In Poland VV is still little known, while it is already very popular in the West.
