Дискотека поетів українських 1920-х стане своєрідною pre-party усього ярмарку. Вперше проєкт Сергія Жадана та Юрія Гуржи «Фокстроти» (кураторка – Оксана Щур) представлено в жовтні 2021 року у Мистецькому арсеналі в рамках проєкту «Футуромарення». Спеціально для Празького книжкового ярмарку Юрій Гуржи створив бонусний трек «Невер (еґейн!)» на тему звільнення Європи та України від «фашистських катів». У Празі перформанс покажуть в адаптованому вигляді: на сцені виступатимуть Юрій Гуржи та Люба Якимчук, а Сергій Жадан, який не може залишити Харків, звучатиме у записі, поряд із голосами Миколи Бажана, Володимира Сосюри та ін.
Особам з українським паспортом БЕЗКОШТОВНИЙ вхід НА ВСІ події ярмарку.
