From a very early age, he wanted to get into the art. The chance came in 1940 during the passage of the cast of Mahieddine Bachtarzi in the region of Berrouaghia, Medea. The enthusiasm and encouragement of Bachtarzi helped Hassan El Hassani to write his first play: "Hassan's dreams", a satire denouncing French colonialism.

Released after the end of World War II, he moved to the Casbah of Algiers where he worked as a barber, but didn't abandon theater. He created the character of "Nai'naa" in theater play "El-Houria" which became, in 1950, "the plot" then "tigoule O ti ghoul pas." After the dissolution of the troupe, he was hired in 1953 on television where he played under the leadership of Mustapha Badie, his first drama entitled "La Poursuite" (Pursuing). With the outbreak of the Algerian war for independence, he was totally committed to the fight. In 1968, he joined the cast of the Algerian National Theatre. The actor then abandoned his favorite character "Nai'naa" for another even more significant, "Boubagra" a naive peasant facing modern life. The actor continued his theatrical activity, the "four seasons theater troupe", and went on a tour in the Algeria for ten years.
