we all know suits are an ugly costume choice, but

hagen in patrice chéreau's götterdämmerung is the only character who is legally allowed to wear a suit as a costume. and here's why.

^ (hagen is on the left)

i wish i could ask chéreau if he specifically intended it to be read this way because imo nothing screams overworked dead-inside rage-harbouring office cubicle worker like a baggy ill-fitting suit and a worn collar with a floppy tie. it screams corporate rat race from which you'll never escape, forever trapped behind a desk slaving away for a promotion and a pat on the back from your boss, a moment's praise and attention, but destined to stay the worker and never enter the c-suite. office cubicle worker is, in a way, the nightmare continuation of the idea alberich was sick of: toiling away in a factory as a member of the then-working-class, except we're 100-ish years past rheingold's industrial revolution setting now. as the nibelungen will never escape the factory, their industriousness trapped behind clanging machines and never to be rewarded with true riches for their labour, so the office cubicle worker will make a dime for his boss to make a dollar.

and that's hagen, isn't it? that's his heritage as a half-nibelung son. he's inherited this fate of workingworkingworking, except he unfortunately landed in a position where he can wonderfully examine the life of riches gunther and his dinner suit crew lead. he gets a spot at the table, gets to eat their food, but he is there to counsel gunther and increase his half-brother's fame, not receive any of his own. he will never exit the rat race. and just the way alberich's treasure was stolen by a richer, stronger god who simply took what he wanted, hagen now meets siegfried, who, while not richer, is simply stronger and very adept at seizing what he wants by some sort of birthright that lets him cruise right past the rat race.

so you've got this little social climber, who doesn't seem to be aware of his birthright, which is the gift to be able to seize anything he wants simply by the right of the stronger, which he makes ample use of, while you're overworked and overtired. fritz hübner's eyes have been overshadowed and his lips almost blackened and he looks like he hasn't showered or shaved in days, and his face twitches when he's left alone. he sings fantasies of everyone serving him, finally, a nibelung son. if i were in that position and only so much as felt the shadowy threat of another person ascending to a position i actually want by some right of the stronger, some intangible BiRtHrIgHt that shouldn't even exist yet never stops separating people - yeah, i'd stab that fcker too.

so yeah, the suit is ugly. it is not a vibe. but this specific iteration of the character is so far the only person for whom it's justified because the reasoning goes beyond "it’s a modern production". the rest of you, go wear capes.

13 years ago : Patrice Chéreau curator at the Louvre Museum

THE LOUVRE INVITES PATRICE CHÉREAU: FACES AND BODIES; BEHIND THE IMAGES; SCOPOPHILIA.
