I like the fragility of the gestures, the emotion-giving energy. I love dance that shatters. I fight every day, faced with the barriers that plague society.

From the age of 13 years, he gives African dance and forms lessons in parallel in ballet dance, jazz and modern ' jazz.
In 1992 GEORGES MOMBOYE founded his dance company CIE GEORGES MOMBOYE with its fifty or so artists in Paris.
