Centaur Battle at San Jacinto
Centaur Battle at San Jacinto is an abstraction on the events and the historical figures surrounding the fateful Battle of San Jacinto (1836), in which General Sam Houston and the Texan army won nearly one million square miles of territory for the United States from Mexico by slaughtering 630 Mexicans in 18 minutes, ignoring repeated orders to ceasefire,” according to the show's production notes.
Centaur Battle... dissects, explodes, examines, and questions the universal themes of masculinity, leadership, and the eternal human tendency towards extreme violence.
