Explanation:

2. Sisin uses the metaphor of playing an instrument on a rooftop to represent the precarious, dangerous situation of the Jewish people, as the act is unstable and risky.
3. Stage lighting is used to convey the mood of a scene, indicate the time of day, and signal different scene locations; costume design is handled by wardrobe, not lighting.
