Benny Ibarra on Timbiriche Bioseries: 'We Didn't Contribute Any Information'

Benny Ibarra, a prominent figure in Mexican music, recently attended the 300th performance of "El Fantasma de la Ópera" at the Teatro de los Insurgentes. While there, he shared his thoughts on the upcoming Timbiriche bioseries, tentatively titled "Rompecabezas," being produced by ViX.

Ibarra clarified that the band members did not contribute any information to the series. He described it as a story based on real events rather than a documentary. "You have to wait and see what it's about. None of us contributed any information, but I don't think it's a documentary, rather a story based on real events," he explained.

Addressing the possibility of a reunion tour with the original Timbiriche members, Alix, Sasha, Paulina, Diego, Erik, and himself, Ibarra emphasized the logistical and personal challenges. "It's difficult, because if you ask me about a Timbiriche reunion, I would have to set aside at least two years of my life, but there are many other things I want to do right now, like more theater or music," he said. He stressed that past reunions were driven by love and respect for the band's significance to fans, not by financial gain, and involved a genuine desire to spend time together.

Beyond discussing Timbiriche, Ibarra also served as the presenter for the milestone 300th performance of "El Fantasma de la Ópera." He expressed his gratitude for the cast's dedication, acknowledging the effort and years of commitment involved in such a production. "Thank you from the heart for all the effort you've put into this staging, thank you for all the years of dedication you've all put into your art. It's 300 performances, you know what that means, that a family and memories are made here, and that you are not the same people as when you auditioned," he stated.

Ibarra also reflected on his deep connection to theater, a passion inherited from his mother, the acclaimed actress, writer, and producer Julissa. He highlighted the importance of venues like the Teatro de los Insurgentes, recalling his own experience performing in "El Hombre de La Mancha" there for 350 shows. He spoke about the constant pursuit of perfection in theater, admitting that even after a long run, performers might still reflect on how they could have improved certain scenes.
