«The city that drove out war» is a book about a city so different from others, that managed to win War without fighting him. Using it's own funny, different weapons. A city that we must all build inside our minds.
Since 2010 "The city that drove out war" travelled all round Greece inspiring school presentations & performances and bookstore events. It was translated into french and accompanied the Illustrator Myrto Delivoria when she was invited at the Salon du livre et de la presse jeunesse Seine-Saint-Denis. It was staged in 2012 by Kinitiras Dance Theatre and in the Autumn of 2016 transformed into a Puppet Theatre Play by Paramythochora with songs written by Foivos Delivorias. It is translated into Portuguese and published in Brazil by Companhia das Letrinhas.
