SYNOPSIS
A woman is being examined by various doctors. Weakly, she sings of what she used to be. One doctor smears lipstick on her. She doesn’t want to go.
MUSIC DESCRIPTION
The repetition of an uneven, minimalistic rhythm in the piano forms the backbone of this scene, as a woman sings melancholically about her 'restoration'. Over top of the piano, the woman's vocal line is simple and unornamented as she sings about her past.

QUOTATIONS FROM CREATIVE TEAM
"Restoration is a piece which welcomes artistic interpretation. Is this an interrogation? A talk show? A death camp?"
