#michaelaloni #Shtisel #mancrushmonday #mancrusheveryday #thedecameron2020 It is time for #mcm with your favorite and mine, Michael Aloni (@michaelaloni)! I'll admit that I don't understand the practice of fan accounts to watermark their account name on photos. If the original photographer does it, that I understand. But when fan accounts do it, my opinion is that it can ruin the photo. Just me? 🤷🏻‍♀️Anyways, pics 1-4 from @michaeloursmile page are just too good not to share. (All are from several years ago I think. His EYES in the first one 🔵🔵!) Pic 5 is from @michaelaloni.myheart. Pic 6 is from when Michael was at an event for Israel's birthday in 2018. Pic 7 is from @thevoiceisrael several years ago. Pic 8 is from a film festival Michael attended in 2017. Pic 9: I originally wasn't going to post this because it was during Michael's rare time off these days, but a fan account posted it, so I changed my mind. Date night & some yummy food look good on him! (Reminder: fan accounts are great, but Michael only has one true, official account, @michaelaloni. Always look for that blue verified check mark to be sure.) And in the final slot is a collage of pics from Michael's reading as part of The Decameron 2020 project in partnership with @ohpen. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the video at the link in my bio! (I could watch it once a day--so good to see and listen to Michael. His English is amazing.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEA6ErhDfkk/?igshid=tye7hmk4nlkp

They choose to write a tale each day for ten days. Such is the frame narrative for the hundred stories written by Giovanni Boccaccio in his Decameron, during the fourteenth century. In the current epidemic, some of the world's writers trade stories written in isolation. Other celebrated voices from around the world are added, reading the stories from their sites of quarantine. Director Michael Mayer puts it all together with help from art director Richard Petit. From their respective retreats, an ensemble is born, which can vary - from the rhythm of frenzied tip tap dance, to the syncopation of ragtime, or to the solemn pace of a requiem. Not a single sum or synthesis, here instead is the expansive, feverish imagination of shut-ins. From the four corners of the world, comes this chorus that wants to be a breach and break the siege.
