Antonio Márez is six years old when Ultima enters his life. “We cannot let her live her last days in loneliness,” says Antonio’s mother. “It is not the way of our people,” agrees his father. Ultima comes to live with Antonio’s family in New Mexico and graces him with the courage to face the challenges of childhood. Under Ultima’s guidance, Tony will probe the family ties that bind him, and he will find in himself the magical secrets of his ancestors. Based on the award-winning Chicano novel by Rudolfo Anaya, “Bless Me, Ultima” is a story about faith, healing and community reflective of Mexican-American cultures throughout the southwest United States. Be fortunate enough to win this Big Deal and take your family of 4 to see Cara Mía Theatre Co. present the Anaya classic on February 17, at the Latino Cultural Center in Dallas.
