Things are brewing on New Year's Eve. A young woman is about to set her house on fire. The helpline rings. Lighter in her hand; waiting music in her ears.

History of an Accident is a story about an all-consuming phone call and an all-consuming need for connection. About a woman in distress and a rescuer trained to listen. But is listening enough to prevent an accident?

In a heated world, Orkater/De Nieuwkomers PATROON explore what it means to really listen with their debut performance History of an Accident. With three-part harmonies, minimalist bass lines and compositions that slowly crumble, PATROON sketches an intimate portrait of someone who tries in vain to make contact.
