To pay his gambling debts, Juan Carlos Bodoque promises Mr. Monster the greatest Romeo and Juliet ever made. Five years later, he hasn’t written a single line. With disaster looming, he drags the “31 Minutos” crew into an improvised, off-the-rails version of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Complete with songs, confusion, and total nonsense.

Juan Carlos Bodoque plays Miguel de Cervantes; Tulio Triviño plays Don Quixote, Juanin Juan Harry plays Sancho and Patana plays Pantonia, the hidalgo's niece. Thus, the universe of the acclaimed children's program 31 Minutos is transferred to the work of Cervantes in a theatrical parody for children and adults that recreates essential elements of the story, maintaining some of its most innovative aspects: the author as a character in the work, the existence of the book within the same novel, etc. The puppet version of the literary classic is quite faithful to the original text, since it preserves entire dialogues from the novel as a way of valuing its validity. It also rescues themes such as fantasy, the necessary madness or eccentricity that takes us out of everyday life and inspires us to fulfill our dreams despite the difficulties; friendship and love as values worth defending tooth and nail, and humor as a trench against pedantry.

First (and last) participation of 31 Minutos in the Teletón. The 31 Minutos team appears with a disastrous performance at the Chilean televised charity event called Teletón, the great network of love and solidarity that unites an entire country. The truth is, no one in charge of the Teletón production reviewed the special episode before it was broadcast — and they never invited them again.
