You Can’t Touch My Sister I Ate In The Womb! In the unbearable state of frustration and loneliness that comes with “becoming a woman”, Viola calls to the twin sister that she absorbed in the womb and thus Olimpia is born. Leaving Olimpia to take over her life in high school, Viola embarks on a journey to Europe where she hopes she can be mysterious and maybe even a little bit sexy somehow. As the play
splits open, both twins encounter the painful untruths of the myth of virginity and learn to
consider consent, attention, and what it means to try and consider the wants and needs of others
when you’re still trying to figure out who the hell you are.
