  2016年首演於臺北藝穗節，選擇前身為仁安醫院的臺北市社區營造中心，獲當年「藝穗亮心心」佳作獎。隨即獲邀於大稻埕國際藝術節的納豆劇場演出。2017年6月於保加利亞古蹟老屋House of Veren Stambolyan拍攝此作影片。

  此回將以臺南50年老屋改建的加力畫廊兩樓層穿梭演出，並融入在地小吃「椪餅麻油蛋」重新編製演繹。舞蹈將分別以3個角色呈現出不同的版本，引領觀眾剖析在秘密、背叛、崩離後，當事者的脆弱、堅韌與勇氣。觀眾將如偵探般一一拼湊探究出故事的原委。

‘Are you happy, Norah?’ is adapted from The Memory Keeper’s Daughter. The newborn infant of David and his wife Norah has Down’s Syndrome. David decides to give this infant away to nurse Caroline and to lie to his wife that the infant has died. Since then David is overwhelmed by Norah’s depression, and keeps asking the nurses for news of his little girl …

This piece, sponsored by Taipei Community Empowerment Network, won the Fringe Bright Heart Thumbs Up! Awards in the Taipei Fringe Festival. The group was afterwards invited to perform at the Tua-Tiu-Tiann International Festival of Arts. In 2017 the show was filmed at the house of Veren Stambolyan in Bulgaria.

This time this play will be performed in a newly-renovated old house, Inart Space. The actors will walk around in this two-story building while performing this show, with the addition of a new element, a local street food ‘ponkan cake with sesame oil egg,’ In this show three different characters will dance distinctively, leading the audience to discover the feebleness, hardness and courage behind all these secrets, betrayals, and separations. The audience, like detectives, will finally find out the origin of the story.
