Why is Ciplusius a man?

Lights slowly come up. First see battered photograph, still hanging on the right side of stage, still covered in torn pages. Then see the overhead projector, which is now on the opposite side of the stage, with one of the Kerkylas t-shirts draped over it. Then see that the ARTISTS have set up an exhibit of Ciplusius-inspired works in the centre of the stage, with many diverse pieces (including books, displayed on pedestals). 

Exhibit name sign at top: 'Ciplusius is'. Pieces are grouped into themes, each with their own sign: ‘Ciplusius is alive’, ‘Ciplusius is borrowed’, ‘Ciplusius is the undead’; ‘Ciplusius is…him?’.

Crowds pass by, stopping to look at and admire each group in the exhibit. Someone sees the projector in the corner, shakes head, and wheels across stage so it is part of the ‘Ciplusius is…him?’ group, right beside the battered photograph. As the projector is placed, the torn pages fall off the photo, which has been restored. Lights go down.
