There are many pretty things to see in Copenhagen, but the performance artists’ collective Dunst isn’t one of them.
 
“We want to show that there are other things than the mainstream gay -- that it’s not all about looking good,” says Dennis Agerblad, a member of Dunst.
 
Dunst had its start more than a decade ago. The group quickly made a name for itself with its outrageous shows and refusal to make its act more mainstream.
 
At one point the group had a TV show in Denmark, but it was cancelled because the broadcaster felt Dunst's humour was too coarse.

Watch xtra.ca tomorrow for a story about another of Copenhagen's hidden gems, Christiania.

If you see defamatory comments made in other people’s postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment must directly relate to the subject of the article.

Avoid confusing statements; express your thoughts clearly and succinctly so readers will understand your opinion. Do not post superficial comments, such as a short phrase or just a few words.

Do not post promotions of products, services or events. If you see such postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment and name may also be published in an Xtra paper.
