Better Life? is a documentary theater piece based on the same research as Home Away From Home. On a two-year interview journey, Fang Yun Lo and the artists Ngô Thanh Phương and Cheng-Ting Chen interviewed over one hundred people from the Vietnamese community in Germany and Taiwan.

The conversations they had about concepts such as home, identity, and family developed into touching miniatures that the audience can experience on a tour of the stage. In contrast to Home Away From Home, Better Life? is performed exclusively by four Vietnamese immigrants living in Taiwan.

Better Life? was commissioned for the Iron Rose Festival in Taoyuan, Taiwan. In 2021, Better Life? was shortlisted from among several hundred proposals for Taiwan’s renowned Taishin Arts Award, the most highly endowed art prize in Taiwan.
