Answer:

Despite theatre's resemblance to the performance of ritual activities, and the relationship that theatre shares with ritual, there is no evidence in any shape or form to show that theatre originated from ritual. This similarity of theatre to ritual is negatively attested by Aristotle, who in his Poetics defined theatre.

Hope it helps!
