• Settling accounts with the myths of Romanticism: The drama exposes romantic illusions and ideas about Poland.

The action of the drama takes place on the boards of the Krakow theater, which gives it an additional dimension of reflection on the role of art and theater in shaping national consciousness. Konrad, at the urging of the Muse, creates a performance that is to be a mirror in which Poles can see themselves and see their advantages and disadvantages. It is a spectacle full of symbols and allegories, which requires deep engagement and interpretation from the viewer. Wyspiański does not give ready answers, but encourages independent thinking and the search for truth.

"Liberation" is not only a drama, but an artistic and political manifesto. Wyspiański, through the mouth of Konrad, expresses his conviction about the role of art in the process of social transformation. Art is to be a tool that encourages action, frees from lethargy and inspires the creation of a better future. At the same time, Wyspiański is aware of the difficulty of this task and the dangers associated with the artist's involvement in political life.
