Mascha Mioni created the art to Wear dress "Dorothea" in memory of Dorothea von Flüe, the wife of the Swiss Saint Nicholas of Flüe.

Performance by Katharina Fellmann
Music by Carl Rütti
Filmed and realized by Carlos Rieder.

Her husband Niklaus von Flüe did say
Woman get out of my way
I want to pray and pray and pray
To live a life to become holy
Not worry how to feed 10 children only

It’s your duty
Please help me
How can we separate
She begged, cried, was desperate
But after all the pain
She went through,
She knew

This dress is my sermon
I carried my burden
And proudly all confessed
She should be the blessed

Colors of a Soul

Some invisible force moves them haphazardly around in irregular circles. They all are connected, a small movement of one can induce rapid movement in others. Sometimes they move hectically, then they almost stand still. Dance of Life.
