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. |

Vuth, the assistant program manager of the Deaf Development Program, introduces Robert Farmer |
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 |
