What is a show gremlin? Malaika Moon uses this term to describe herself as an artist outside of the traditional 'Showgirl' structure but you may know her more aptly as a singer, storyteller and burlesque artist. Her intense creativity is clearly on display whenever she takes to the stage pulling from her multi disciplinary background to create routines that seduce, amuse and sometimes terrify a crowd. Today, Malaika Moon tells us about her beginning stages of dance, singing and community theatre and how that culminates in the burlesque character known across the country today.

NOTE: We mention the Australian Burlesque Festival (ABF) and the competition they run for newcomers. This event was called New Follies Revue, not 'Fresh Faced Follies, sorry for the slip up!

Welcome to a world where the boundaries between the bizarre and the beautiful blur. Nova’s stage presence is impossible to ignore as she doesn’t just perform, she hypnotizes her audience with an intoxicating concoction of sideshow and seduction.

Nova Mystique began her performance journey in Adelaide early 2023 as an aerialist and performance artist with productions such as Inferno and Devious Adelaide before she stepped foot into the world of burlesque and sideshow.

She officially made her burlesque and sideshow debut in Fringe World Perth 2024, as Wednesday Addams, solidifying her status as a rising star in the burlesque and sideshow scene and becoming a regular at the Adelaide burlesque Rooftop Bar Nineteen Ten.

Inspired by the overwhelming love she received in the Boorloo arts community, she made the choice to move from Adelaide to Perth in July 2024 to fully immerse herself in her craft and create things that feel true to herself. As a lesbian, she’s really found her place within the queer community here which intersects so deeply with burlesque.

She is your carnival doll. She is a star. She is Nova Mystique
