Originally from Lyon, Malika Djardi trained in contemporary dance at UQAM in Montreal, then at the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine in Angers from 2009 to 2011. She has performed as a dancer for Mélanie Perrier, Joris Lacoste, Ola Maciejewska, Alexandre Roccoli among others, and Pierre Droulers, with whom she continues to collaborate.

Developing her own work with the solo Sa prière, created in April 2014 at La Raffinerie in Brussels, she pursues a research into performance as a documentary object, notably by interviewing her mother, who converted from Catholicism to Islam.

The duet Horion, an album of seven danced pieces, was created at the Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine Saint-Denis (FR) in May 2016. For the Biennale de Charleroi Danse (BE) in 2017, she conceived the lecture-performance 3, exploring the science-fiction genre and the question of emotions within a disillusioned fertility ritual. Épisode, conceived as a short-series format, extends this reflection. The first episode was presented at Les Brigittines in Brussels (BE) in June 2019 as part of Memories of the XXIInd Century.

She was in residence at the Centre National de la Danse (FR) in 2019–2020 for PIER 7, which takes as its starting point a dialogue with professional skateboarder JB Gillet. The piece was created at Les Subsistances in Lyon on 14, 15 and 16 December 2021. Her latest piece, Martyre, a tribute to her mother living with Alzheimer's, was created on 27 March 2024 as part of the festival Le Grand Bain with the Gymnase CDCN in Roubaix.
