Press Mute

Press Mute is a fast-paced, satirical production about truth, lies, the media, fast-paced technology, and the chaos in between. It follows two exhausted journalists trying to expose a scandal, a charismatic podcaster, a slick minister and the algorithm that knows us better than we know ourselves! In a world where facts compete with feelings and investigations are lost beneath ‘influencer’ noise, the real challenge is getting anyone to care. Blurring the lines between performance and reality, the play invites the audience to weigh into the discourse, sometimes quite literally. Performed by a troupe of Malta’s finest actors and journalists, Press Mute questions what happens when the news becomes noise, and who we trust to tell us the truth.
