juego de dobleces

Spanish to English Art/Literary Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
This is a description of a work, a drawing, by Italo/Venezuelan artist Tecla Tofano titled SUPERMAN HA MUERTO.

En la viñeta aparecen gestos y referencias que nos remiten a un juego de dobleces y singulares lecturas. La escena es la caricatura de la muerte de un héroe. Las aves que arriba se acercan, y el pequeño ser alado debajo del sarcófago comienzan a llenar de alegorías el cuadro.

dobleces can be folds or crease OR duplicity...duplicitous play and singular readings??

Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

a game of duplicities and singular readings

Duplicity means "contradictory doubleness of thought, speech, or action".
I think this is what the word "doblez" means in this context.
Example sentence:

// the simplicity and openness of their lives brought out for him the duplicity that lay at the bottom of ours — Mary Austin
