Description:
Digital reproduction of the poster for the Siren play 'From the Divine'. This shows a photo of two toy soldiers and a toy tank falling over on the keys of a piano.
The play was devised by Siren and scripted by Tasha Fairbanks following the Falklands War in 1982. It was directed by Sylvia Vickers. Siren used as a starting point for devising the play, a photograph from a newspaper of a group of women waving off the troops to the Falkland war, one of whom has lifted her tops showing her bare breasts behind a Union Jack flag. The play explored the role of women in supporting wars throughout the centuries.
