Episode Details

Amanda Knox is bringing her raw, provocative new show “Cartwheel” to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival — a piece she says honors Meredith Kercher’s memory and confronts the violence done to both women. Named after a false rumor that Knox did cartwheels at police headquarters after Kercher’s 2007 murder, the show sparks outrage from Kercher’s family and online petitioners who call it exploitative and disrespectful. Critics argue it trivializes a horrific crime, while Knox defends it as essential art, insisting the Fringe’s ethos supports challenging narratives — even if they’re painful. The case, which led to Knox’s four-year wrongful imprisonment before her eventual acquittal in 2015, continues to divide public opinion on justice, trauma, and performance.
