Oh geez, I wish I'd been with you. It's been so long since her plays sailed over my head in my wide-eyed drama major at the Univuhsity of Vahginia days. I went to her site and found:
"When first written as performed in a SoHo loft Fornes took advantage of the rooms in the loft space to innovatively divide the audience into four groups for Part 11. Each group moved between the four sets to watch at close hand the simultaneously performed scenes until each group had seen all four scenes. The audience then came together again for Part 111. Fornes has since re-written Fefu so that it can be more readily performed in conventional theatre spaces."
Shall we share a moment of ravaging desire to go back in time and see that production?
