PERFECTOS DESCONOCIDOS (Perfect Strangers) at GENTE DE TEATRO

Gente de Teatro celebrates its 30th anniversary with PERFECTOS DESCONOCIDOS (Perfect Strangers) — a stage adaptation by Daniel Guzmán and David Serrano, based on the record-breaking international hit film Perfetti Sconosciuti by Paolo Genovese.

On an eclipse night, a group of lifelong friends gathers for dinner. Suddenly, someone suggests an unexpected game: place their phones on the table and share all incoming messages and calls throughout the evening. Would you dare to play?

PERFECTOS DESCONOCIDOS (Perfect Strangers) is a fast-paced and vibrant comedy — a true rollercoaster ride filled with laughter, shocks, and surprises, where privacy is pushed to its limits. With a solid and deeply human script, the play explores trust, friendship, hidden secrets, and the impact of modern technology on our relationships.

In 2016, Paolo Genovese’s Perfectos Desconocidos (Perfect Strangers) won the award for Best Screenplay in an International Narrative Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival and was named Best Film at the David di Donatello Awards. Perfectos Desconocidos became a global phenomenon, earning numerous accolades and becoming the most adapted film in the world.
