2020年王靖惇創作《如此美好》，以父親的長篇獨白，述說與寂寞共舞的最後人生旅程，以及與過世妻子的種種回憶。2024年王靖惇以母親罹病20餘年的生命故事，全新創作《美好如此》，在同一故事脈絡下，改以女性觀點書寫平行的記憶。母親、女兒、與外籍看護的女兒為主要角色，兩齣戲雖各自敘事卻互相交織，沿用了同樣的水箱作為主要視覺印象，並延伸探討親情、新住民與生命議題。
《美好如此》故事描述原本以為互不相識的三個女人，在難得的假期裡，意外訂到同一間民宿，又因颱風被迫困在一起度過漫漫長夜。風雨交加中，她們隱瞞來到這間民宿真正的目的。沒想到，三人的過去竟有著意想不到的交集。在風雨平息之前，她們是否能揭開自己生命的謎底？在生命的困境與挑戰中，尋找被陪伴、被理解的可能性。

★2024 NTT-Fall for Great Souls
Through a long monologue, Daniel WANG’s 2020 work Wonderful narrates the final life journey of a father who dances with loneliness in the memories of his deceased wife. In 2024, WANG created a new piece titled The Moment, based on his mother’s 20-year battle with illness. Within the same narrative context as Wonderful, The Moment is written from a female perspective, weaving the parallel memories of the main characters: a mother, a daughter, and the daughter of a foreign caregiver. Although the two plays tell their stories separately, they are interwoven, using the same water tank as the primary visual impression, and further explore issues of gender, family bonds, new immigrants, and life.
The Moment tells the story of three women who initially believed they were strangers. During a rare holiday, they unexpectedly book the same bed and breakfast, and they are forced to spend a long night together as a typhoon rages outside. Amid the storm, they delve into each other’s pasts and discover unexpected connections. Before the storm subsides, they inadvertently uncover the mysteries of their own lives. These three women, like isolated islands, face their own life challenges while continually seeking companionship and understanding.
