MEET THE COUPLE WHO CLIMB SKYSCRAPERS AS AN ART FORM

Netflix has dropped a new Documentary called “Sky Walkers” featuring Angela Nikoleau and Ivan Beerkus which feature the couple who are “rooftoppers”.  Which features the couple as they risk their lives for art atop the world’s tallest buildings.

The film that tells the story of this Russian pair of “rooftoppers” (the name given to their activity of climbing structures without safety equipment) is full of swooping, lurching moments, where audiences can feel that they too, are in danger of losing their footing, high above the ground. Nikolau and Beerkus are the first “couple” from this scene and arguably now the most famous, especially after they claimed to have (illegally) entered and climbed the spire of the second tallest building in the world in December 2022, the Merdeka 118 tower in Malaysia, and posted footage to prove it.

An interesting and dangerous choice for a shared hobby for a couple but hey if it makes them happy who are we to judge.
