Rachel Jendrzejewski, a multidisciplinary artist, talks about her Stranger-Stranger Supper Series, which brought together strangers from various walks of life to play roles they normally would never have inhabited. She goes on to discuss the fluidity of the nature of theater and the performance of everyday life, as well as potential applications that the medium might have for furthering the discourse surrounding food systems.
