If one thinks about the scene as being on stage, then the pyramids are the "actors" and props that make up the scene. The active player's hands may never be the focus "on stage" — that is, they may never be seen as one of the actors. But her hands ''may'' be used to move props, to animate actors, to spotlight certain elements of the scene (e.g. though pointing or drawing circles around things), for special effects (e.g. concealing / revealing certain elements of the scene or gesturing that a group of pyramids is multiplied in many places on the playing surface without actually needing to set them out), and anything else that a director, stagehand, or puppeteer might do to assist in the performance of a play. For example, if a stack of pyramids has been established to be a person in a scene, having that "person" hold a small yellow a pyramid and move as though writing with a pencil is acceptable, but the active player could not hold the yellow pyramid as a pencil and gesture as though writing herself, because her hands in that case would be "on stage."
