Robert Farmer Performance

14 August 2002

Robert Farmer, deaf performer
Robert Farmer is a deaf visual artist from Australia who has performed in Europe and the United States as well as his native country. On a visit to Cambodia, he offered a free show for the deaf people here which was very well received. This type of show, probably a first in Cambodia, was held in a covered area at Maryknoll's Wat Than Skills Training Project.

Robert Farmer in action
Farmer performed many different routines, illustrating with gestures and body language various scenes from life such as riding in an airplane and playing golf and conducting a symphony orchestra

A performance for deaf people must emphasize the visual and Robert did not disappoint the local crowd which included some of the Wat Than students
