W imie Jakuba S.
Thirteen years after its theatrical premiere, Pawel Demirski returns to the text about Jakub Szela, reinterpreting it in the format of television drama. Following the so-called folk turn and the heightened interest in Polish peasant heritage, as well as the shame associated with it, "In the Name of Jakub S." remains a perennial source of important social and artistic themes. The central character of the play is Jakub Szela, the leader of the Galician robbery. The play examines Szela's character from a contemporary perspective, juxtaposed with today's economic and social realities and the problems of the aspiring "middle class."
