Poppy
Biography
Moriah Rose Pereira, known professionally as Poppy, is a unique, multi-hyphenate creation.
Originating from a dance background, Poppy’s first steps in the creative world began with performance art video vignettes. The importance of these videos took prominence over the music she made to accompany them, but eventually, as the intimacy of the songs became too strong to let anyone else touch them, she progressed into singing, screaming, songwriter, and more, finding an outlet that would allow her to pull apart her journals, dig deep visually, and experiment sonically to create something entirely new.

Henri Giraud
Biography
Le général Henri Honoré Giraud, né le 18 janvier 1879 à Paris 13e et mort le 11 mars 1949 à Dijon (Côte-d'Or), est un militaire et homme politique français, général de brigade à partir de 1930, puis général d'armée à partir de 1936. Henri Giraud a servi durant la Première Guerre mondiale, la guerre du Rif et la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; dans le cadre de ce dernier conflit, il est considéré comme l'une des principales figures du processus qui a mené à la Libération. Partisan de la reprise de la lutte contre l'Allemagne nazie et sans lien avec la France libre, il reçut le soutien des Américains et fit figure de rival du général de Gaulle pour la direction des forcesalliées françaises. Après le débarquement allié de novembre 1942 et suite à la mort de l'amiral Darlan, Giraud fut durant plusieurs mois au pouvoir en Afrique française du Nord à la tête d'abord du Haut-commissariat de la France pour l'Afrique, puis du Commandement en chef français civil et militaire ; il eut sous ses ordres l'Armée d'Afrique, engagée aux côtés des Alliés dans les opérations contre les Allemandset les Italiens. Une partie de la Résistance intérieure se réclama également de son patronage et de son inspiration : ce fut notamment le cas des organisations résistantes initialement sympathisantes de Vichy, ou qui rejetaient l'autorité du général de Gaulle, comme le réseau Alliance ou l’Organisation de résistance de l'armée (ORA). Giraud maintint dans un premier temps en Afrique du Nord la législation de Vichy, mais fut ensuite convaincu par Jean Monnet de rompre définitivement avec Pétain. Les Alliés poussèrent Giraud et de Gaulle à s'entendre, pour unifier les forces françaises : de juin à novembre 1943, les deux généraux furent coprésidents du Comité français de Libération nationale(CFLN). Giraud fut cependant évincé par de Gaulle, qui le priva progressivement de toute responsabilité, politique puis militaire, au sein des forces alliées.
