Hey there, Honored Colleagues!
I could use some literally philosophical help here with this term. As a rule, I would translate this with 'public opinion', but have the sneaking suspicion there's more behind it. can I correctly use 'public thought'?
Mit der (Performance Name) suchen wir nach produktiven Verknüpfungen, Übergängen und Vermittlungen zwischen einer kritischen Wissenschaft, Theorie und Philosophie und einer performativen und theatralen Praxis des öffentlichen Denkens. Unsere Arbeitsweise setzt die Performance nicht als ästhetischen Schlusspunkt. Im zirkulären Prozess der Aneignung und in der wiederholten Annäherung an den Text und den theoretischen Raum, den er beschreibt, versucht sie den Text für unsere Erfahrung zu öffnen.
My VERY sketchy translation:
Performance Name is seeking productive connections, segues and mediation between (socially) critical science, theory and philosophy and a performative, theatrical practice/experience/platform of/for public thought/opinion....
Hmmm. I obviously need your help here!

You're welcome, Ramey. I probably had more time to think my thoughts than you in the circumstances.

YES! Much better, Wendy, thanks so much! |
At the moment, my thoughts are thought without really thinking them through thoroughly. It's a fascinating and demanding text. I LOVE it, which is decidedly NOT a thought but an emphatic emotion. Have a wonderful weekend, Wendy! |

: This is taking slight liberties, but it conveys a clearer meaning to me than "public thinking". The whole text is total hogwash anyway :-)
