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.

The piece proposes a new reading of this work, a tactile text presented as a transfeminist sex manual reflecting upon the roles that the body, eroticism and somatic experience can play in developing alternatives to current ecological problems.

This film-performance, co-produced by Batalha (and linked to the film cycle Counter-Flows), has been developed collectively and cumulatively by Rita Natálio in collaboration with different spillovers: Alina Folini (with whom she started the project and developed the dance notations), Josefa Pereira and Ves Liberta (performance and script), Liz Rosenfeld (filmic contributions), Aline Belfort (audiovisual), Odete (music and drawings), and Kahumbi (costumes and toys), along with a whole network of iconographies and textualities that burst forth from the worldviews of this invented community.
