Dario Regattieri and Iván Macías present the first musical adaptation based on the original work by the French playwright Francis Veber, which can be seen at Teatro Marquina from 10 to 31 October 2026. Originally premiered in 1993, the play has become an international success.

This legendary comedy arrives on stage for the first time in a musical version with a highly entertaining proposal featuring an unstoppable rhythm and humour. The adaptation and direction of the show are by Yllana, a theatre company that found its form of expression in gestual humour. It has established itself as a dynamic and avant-garde creative factory, recognised in the cultural sphere at both national and international levels.

The story presents on stage a group of friends who weekly organise a private dinner with an infamous rule: each one must bring an "idiot" and compete to see who brings the best one.
