Pravanya Pillay: Bike Centaur (WIP)

What is a Bike Centaur? Probably a metaphor for something. A way to describe someone weird. Who watched too much Bollywood and can’t get over the 1997 - 2001 Blair Government.

BUT there’s a parallel universe where the earth is covered in naturally occurring bike lanes. This small environmental change meant different genes were chosen and different creatures triumphed under natural selection. In this universe the Bike Centaur is not a metaphor. They’re dating our daughters, they’re working at KPMG*, they’re in our velodromes. In this universe they’re real.

But this is a show about the first thing - the metaphor. Or is it? Watch to find out.

Pravanya Pillay brings you a work in progress comedy show about being kind of strange OR an all encompassing history of Bike Centaur civilisation. We’ll see.

*KPMG ran a Bike Centaur access and inclusion programme in the early 00’s to address the lack of Bike Centaurs in finance - the programme was so successful that KPMG is now 90% Bike Centaur.
