Gilles Gobeil and René Lussier lightheartedly agreed to this contract but it took them 7 years to fully honor its clauses! Le contrat (“The contract”) is a magnificent fresco inspired by Goethe’s Faust and its infinite cultural ramifications. A symbiosis of one’s ardour and the other’s meticulousness.
