La cena de los idiotas is the first musical version of a comedy by Francis Veber, originally premiered in 1993 and successfully staged in various countries. The adaptation and direction are by Yllana, a company that has built its stage language on physical comedy and the creation of innovative productions. The music is by Iván Macías, who shares the presentation of the project with Dario Regattieri, responsible for the executive production, while Zenón Recalde writes the lyrics and collaborates on the adaptation.

On stage, a group of friends organises a private dinner every week with a particular rule: each guest must come with a person they consider an idiot, and whoever brings the most surprising one wins. Pierre believes he has found the perfect candidate to secure victory, but things do not go as he had planned. The production is staged at the Teatro Marquina in Madrid, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city.
