The basis for Spillovers is the book Lesbian peoples: material for a dictionary. Written in 1976 by Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig, this is a dictionary for lovers, outlining the contours of an emotional, sensorial and political lexicon.

Rita Natálio builds a fabled re-reading of this iconic work of lesbian feminism, in the form of a multi-voice conference where a current transfeminist glossary is addressed in dialogue with the memory of this book. Spillovers are lovers or perhaps transitive states of identity, they summon the body, eroticism and somatic experience to create alternatives to current ecological problems and, eventually, to the production of water.

This multidisciplinary performance, co-produced by Batalha (and linked to the film programme Counter-Flows), which Rita Natálio developed, collectively and cumulatively, with collaborations from different spillovers: Alina Ruiz Folini, with whom they started the project and developed the choreographic scores, Josefa Pereira and Ves Liberta in performance and text, Liz Rosenfeld with filmic contribution, Aline Belfort in the audiovisual dimension, Odete in music and singing, Náara Saturnino in experimentation with clothes, testimonials by dancer Eríc Santos, by nonbinary multi-artist Lui L'Abbate and indigenous activist and psychologist Geni Núñez, a Kaibô piece by Amanda Silva and Margot Silva, in addition to a whole network of iconographies and textualities that overflow the cosmovisions of this invented community.
