The descriptive use of language built the imaginative scene in the text.

Explanation:

The descriptive language of the passage is rich and rife with allusions that work really well.

This includes:

1. now making a hollow sound as it rolls across the stage

2. The dry-ice machine has been turned on full blast

The passages here describe the stage performance with a minute detail while the phrases flow with the real flow of the performance to give a feeling of frenzy in the text as it comes with the performance of a classical narrative.
