“…white and black, young and determined dancers seize the music bodily.  Sudden stops, trembling hands, feet pounding the floor as if trying to break through, body movements between African tradition and contemporary dance brace themselves against this Himalaya of a Rite…
Georges Momboye has succumbed to this evocation of happiness, birth and threat which is life… The “sacrifice of the Chosen-one” reminded me of my own history…”  Le Monde

“Sculptural.  Everything is perfectly calculated in the Georges Momboye’s version, the ensembles, the powerful solos, right down to the quartet of sculptural virgins.  The choreographer obviously has a knack for directing.  And he’s good...  At the end, a man comes to rescue the chosen-one.  Carried by Stravinski’s resonating and even haunting music, the choreographer plays along with it.” Marie Christine Vernay - Libération

“One, if not the best representative of what is known as dance fusion… Halfway between African and contemporary dance, the Ivory Coast choreographer Georges Momboye has succeeded in bringing together the best of both worlds. These performances are an ode to the creative energy of bodies and to the universal rhythm of dance.” Zurban

“Africa: how beautiful, generous and human, without any complexes and in perfect harmony with its traditions, not forgetting happily bounding into modernity. ... African dance today has an invigorating freshness, so dear to so many Western choreographers and of which Georges Momboye gives us a dazzling demonstration on the Campo Santo stage.” L’indépendant

“Confronting African culture to western modernity seemed to constitute an audacious gamble, despite it starting out on excellent premises. Indeed, other than his vocation as African dancer, Momboye is commensurate with the expertise of a contemporary choreographer. In addition, he is an exceptional choreographer and cajoling him into a solo of the Faun promised to be fascinating. And so it was!  Momboye approached the work with the greatest humility. He embodies the faun all evening long, without any unnecessary effects and an efficient simplicity. A few gestures are reminiscent of the beginning and end of Nijinsky but are transposed and integrated into the renowned personality of the Ivory Coast choreographer.”  Sonia Schoonejans - Ballet 2000

“African and contemporary dance join forces to tell us of humanity
The choreography is a blend of African and contemporary dance skilfully concocted by Georges Momboye and brilliantly performed by his company…  It offers up a rare digest of energy, skill and beauty.” Paris Môme

“Clair de Lune has delighted the public: energy, enthusiasm and humour have characterised this incredibly energetic creation.  Between light and darkness, it was a real treat from beginning to end.” Le Progrès

“It is one of the spearheads of what one calls “dance fusion”, a blend of African and contemporary dance. And the least that can be said is that Momboye is an expert in rich contemporary afro dance – devastating accelerations, feet banging on the floor, acrobatics with controlled scenography.” La Montagne

“… quirky, unconventional, perhaps a little crazy, these ‘dislocated’ bodies move, join together with grace and at speed. A real train station atmosphere!  Waltzing cases, quasi-elasticated and electrified bodies attract each other constantly and without stopping…” La Montagne

“Adjaya is the title of the spectacle of the Ivory Coast choreographer Georges Momboye and means " the dream ". Dream of fusion of people in the dance, vital stream which irradiates interpreters and propagates in space in beneficial waves. Command from the Biennale National of dance of the Val de Marne 2001, Adjaya should make climb the collected spectators thermometer in the yard of the Palace synodales within the framework of the eleventh publishing of the Festival.

Osmosis between the hip hop and the African traditional style, which is the root of it is blatant. In the urgency of this dance which enjoys its crazy cadence, moments of suspension pound better to re-inflate bodies always ready to rush about on the wild tempos of drums. In the middle of the group, Georges Momboye who launched his company in 1992 and steers at the same time the Centre of pluri-African dances and cultures of the world, in Paris, done the effect of bomb : an impeccable art, outstanding technique, generosity ad hoc. His dry footwork, his trunk and the flexible arms, his precision to sequences thrown to full speed, magnetize…” The World

“ For Momboye, the dance is shout and paper, creation and memory… For him, the creation is a connection which interrupts the line of the traditional dance and is nourishing it to give the contemporary African dance. Crossed anchoring and present, creator of movements, are the engines of broadcasting except borders of this dance and its meaning modes, as custom of the percussions. The sincere comment of Momboye appears clearly in the scenic conception of Adjaya… This creation approaches the theme of individuality and egocentricity, flying in brightness under vitality effect without border of the interpreters.” The Terrace
