Hello list,
here's a MWE to shrink the distance between two lines:
\starttext
\samplefile{ward}\par
\blank
\bgroup
\baselineskip=0pt
\samplefile{ward}\par
\egroup
\stoptext
How can I get lines closer, even overlapping?

Yes, but you can't say \setupinterlinespace[line=6pt] and make lines
overlap. At a certain point baselines don't get closer any more.
----------------------------------------------
\starttext
\samplefile{ward}\par
\blank
\start \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]
\samplefile{ward}\par
\stop
\blank
\start \setupinterlinespace[line=6pt]
\samplefile{ward}\par
\stop
\stoptext
----------------------------------------------
You can do something like this:
----------------------------------------------
\starttext
\samplefile{ward}\par
\blank
\start \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]
\samplefile{ward}\par
\stop
\blank
The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal
illness.\vadjust{\kern-6pt}
Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved
or not.\vadjust{\kern-6pt}
But our presence is like the effect of an old-age patient who smokes
many packs\vadjust{\kern-6pt}
of cigarettes per day—and we humans are the cigarettes.
\stoptext
----------------------------------------------
but I had to insert all those \kern-6pt manually.
How can I obtain the same result automatically?
(please don't argue about the ugliness of the result ;) )

there is no real need to argue because it *is* ugly -)
so say that you choose 6pt interlinespace ... which means that all lines
will likely touch
in that case tex will inject lineskip (assuming that you didn't disable it)
and as tex doesn't care about results being ugly (plenty of examples of
that on the internet) it will happily insert a negative skip when you do
this:
\start \setupinterlinespace[line=6pt]
\lineskip-6pt
\samplefile{ward}\par
\stop
now, of course, this will not be pretty when heights and depths differ
per line so here's another way:
\start
\setbox\scratchbox\vbox{\samplefile{ward}}
\dorecurse {\boxlines\scratchbox} {
\boxlineht\scratchbox#1 2pt % 4pt
\boxlinedp\scratchbox#1 1pt % 2pt
\nointerlineskip
\boxline \scratchbox#1
\par
}
\stop
so ... in tex there's always a way out

TeX prevents overlapping line but you cheat and modify the dimensions of
all characters.
The following example set the height and depth to 0 ex for all character
in the current font (I used \definedfont to keep it local to the group)
and now you can change the interlinespace to whatever value you like.
\definefontfeature [tightlines] [dimensions={*,0,0}]
\starttext
\samplefile{ward}\par
\blank
\start
\setupinterlinespace[line=5pt]
\definedfont[Normal*default,tightlines]
\samplefile{ward}\par
\stop
\stoptext

Thanks Wolfgang.
I tried this:
\definefontfeature [tightlines] [dimensions={*,0,0}]
\starttext
\samplefile{ward}\par
\blank
\start
\setupinterlinespace[line=5pt]
\feature[+][tightlines]
\samplefile{ward}\par
\stop
\stoptext
but it doesn't add the feature to the current font.
I understand I need a font switch.
Usually I use \switchtobodyfont. How is \definedfont different?

it's a 'permanent' one ... so when the font is loaded the dimensions are
adapted so you need a new font definition
